Queenstown - June 2011
Who could resist a $1 car rental and $27 airfares? Not us!! After spending a great night in Timaru with friend Marie-Anne eating yummy food and talking a lot we set our sites on Q'town. It was cold but not snowy. Days before the Winter Festival started with no snow makes for a quiet town but we still loved it. And this is what we did.
Walked around Queenstown on a very cold day...Remarkable view
Found a big red sofa
Ate at the legendary 'The Cow'. Best pizza in the world, really. And the venue for many a good evening in past lives.
Discovered the Chinese Village in Arrowtown - what a great find and a fantastic history lesson for all of us. What amazing resilient and tenacious people those men were. And how lonely they must have been living in the cold and tiny houses they made for themselves, so far from home.
We didn't even mind being delayed by a few hours as spending time on the sofa at Q'town airport reading and gazing out over the mountains is just not that hard.
