Last Day in Queenstown

Its my last day in Queenstown and I'm walking along the waterfront again. I did think of going on the TSS Earnslaw, but it was looking very busy. I settled for a photograph standing in front of it instead. The Earnslaw is an old steam ship that does trips across lake Wakatipu, very popular.

I couldn't leave Queenstown without one last ride. I found another exclusive one for dragons, a giant kiwi ride. More comfortable than yesterdays sheep ride. I never did find out why he was wearing a sock though.

Queenstown IV

Helicopter ride! Take off from the airport and land on the Remarkables, the mountain range opposite. I got out and had a walk around. Spectacular views. This photo is me back in the helicopter before taking off for the rest of the flight, you can see Lake Wakatipu behind me. Round in a big circle over mountains and rivers before landing.

More excitement. This time a sheep ride. No comfortable seat this time though.

Queenstown III

Here's another of Lake Wakitipu, with me posing. I have been really lucky with the weather here.

Queensland has lots of things to do. I've done the jet boat, don't want to bungee jump and am going up in a helicopter later. This is a unique one available only to dragons - the Giant Moa Tour. Unlike in Napier my nice ride isn't going to get interrupted by the dog walker.

Queenstown II

Long trip back from Millford Sound. Nipped out for something to eat. Ribs, this takes me back to when we could terrorise small villages!

I'm posing in front of Lake Wakatipu. It really is beautiful here. My hotel is a short walk (or fly) along the lake from the town centre, very pleasant.

Queenstown

Got to Queenstown fairly quickly. Drove through areas of wind and rain. Its not bad weather here though. Having a quick drop of water to help relax before wandering around rest of town. Somewhere in particular I want to go to.

I own a small call centre in Queenstown. thought I would drop in and encourage my minions in their work....
