A - Z Guidebook: Queenstown New Zealand

stunning Queenstown

I don't have a clue who the photo bombers are!  This was the Christmas we all met up in NZ for a blissfully cool holiday.  16C in Dunedin on Xmas Day; 41C at home in Brisbane.  There was actually some snow up on the mountains here in Queenstown. Oh how we loved having a roast dinner without the sweat puddling under our feet.  

Anyone who has been to NZ will know how gorgeous the scenery is, especially in the South Island.  One day we really must get here in Winter for the snow season.  I bought a huge, furry jacket at a clothing boutique, and was asked by the shopkeeper where I lived? Obviously expecting me to say some cold part of Australia or the world.  I must have had a moment of madness buying this as I have only worn it twice.  She clearly thought I was nuts!

I forgot to tell you this is the TSS Earnslaw, an Edwardian vintage steamer which takes tourists around Lake Wakatipu.  I'm sure I don't need to tell any Lord of the Rings fans that they filmed parts of the movies further up the lake.
