Made our way to Cardrona Hotel and had a look at lots of memorabilia. Scenery changing dramatically. Not as lush and quite dry on the mountain ranges. We were blessed that the bad weather forecast did not come to fruition.
Made our way over an incredibly high mountain range and the downhill run was scary as hell. When I have my maps to hand I will note the range it was. Made it to Arrow Town. Totally full of tourists and no parking available. It sure is very pretty though with quaint gorgeous cottages, gardens and atmosphere. Would love to see it without tourists and just have the luxury of just walking through some of the streets.
Were at our hotel in Queenstown before we knew it. Everything is really so close. We are staying at the Kawarau Village on Lake Wakatipu. The original room was not to our satisfaction, so managed to change it to one on the 4th floor with views to the mountains and part of the lake. Much better. Rooms are small, with a small TV/Lounge, Small Kitchenette, lovely large king bed and nice bathroom. So all in all, we should be comfy here. Definitely a change from our open space we enjoyed so thoroughly at Glen Dene Station. Never mind, changes are good and gives us much diversity.
Had a lovely stroll by the lake this afternoon, of course some more photography and generally enjoying the mild coolness and surrounds.
Tomorrow we will endeavour to go to Glenorchy. Please…weather hold out.
