Te Araroa 02/02/26

Day 134, Queenstown 

A day off in the rain. It wasn't as heavy as forecast but steady all day.

Plenty of traffic 
Queenstown isn't very exciting unless you like made in New Zealand tourist shopping or expensive trips in a cable car to an even more expensive restaurant at the top of the hill.
A rather damp lakeshore 
As an indicator of the type of visitors here there was a sign on the window of one shop looking for staff "must be fluent in English and Mandarin".
Giant Kiwi 
I did healthy eating, washing and restocked for the next five days but apart from buying a new hat very little else.
Can't remember who he was but the seagull has the right opinion 

Still wet 

Cable car and roadworks 
A relaxing day, all geared up for the dwindling distance to Bluff.
