Queenstown

Queenstown is built from the shore up. Nice and flat around the jetties, then steep climbs up into the hills. Most of the residential area is located high up. Of course we had booked through 'airbnb' a self-contained apartment with fantastic views down into the bay. Left the car on the very steep driveway for the two days, and walked everywhere. Mike was sooo pleased!! 

There is a gondola which takes one up to a view point on top of a mountain, but to get to where the gondola goes up you have to climb up and up.

There were lots of shops open, so Yvonne was happy.

Queenstown has some very good restaurant's, so we had a very nice meal with some really good New Zealand wine.
There is also a famous burger joint called ' Fergburger'. Tried one. Couldn't see what all the fuss was about!!

Later on smelt popcorn. Followed nose and found a cinema, so went in and watched the latest Bond film, Spectre.

Enjoyed Queenstown, nice to be in a place with more than 10 people living in a few wooden bungalows, and some open shops.

Next we are off to another little place halfway to Dunedin for a little recreational dog sledging. A place called Ranfurly. 

Leave you with some photos.View from the bedroom window, our little apartment, part of the walk to and from the town centre, almost at the top, Mike walking up another happy incline, looking down over Queenstown.
