This day in Queenstown

Ive had a nice final day here in Queenstown. This is definitely my final day here, and have just taken it really easy. After checking out of my hotel I went for a drive up to Glenorchy which is about the size of Bridgtown, and the next settlement down from here. It was nice so I decided to go for a wander down-river. Testament to the fact that I was wearing a T shirt, it started to rain. I think I got away with it though as it was only a shower. Nevertheless, the drive back was made more interesting by the added water to the road surface.
I decided to lunch again at Fergburger (please click and have a look at the menu). I cannot stress to you how great a place this is. I went for the Sweet Bambi. A little fact for ya fact fans..over here Deer are bred on farms for meat. The meat is a little milder tasting than traditional venison, but very good nonetheless.
After posting some stuff (mom, you need to know that Ive posted some clothing back that Im not going to wear to get the weight of my luggage down - dont worry its all clean), I went to my new hotel, a damn sight cheaper than where I was staying, and very nice. With one disadvantage. It advertises itself as being 300m from the town centre. Which it is. Vertically. No joke. That should be fun after a drink tonight!
Theyve finally put up my shotover jet photos online. The absolute pick is at www.shotoverjet.com Go to Daily Photos. Then enter SOJT74156082. Im on the back row, 2nd from the left.
Well, thats it. Queenstown. Done. Dunedin tomorrow. Its only a 4 hour drive (Only!), so I should be there early afternoon.
From the best place on earth.
