Queenstown Exploring

Checking out the town this morning

Today we were tourists :-)

We did a lot of searching for gifts and just generally getting a feel for the town.

Personally, I'm loving it here! It's a lot like Oregon only everyone has an awesome accent. Not everything is super great though, especially if you're a pedestrian. The drivers here must have the right of way since non of them will stop or even slow down. Plus, I'm not sure we have even seen a stop sign, everything is a yield, so no reason for the cars to change their pace.

As long as you're careful, it's fine.

We did get some good items and I have an eye on a shirt that I'll probably get, but have not found the perfect Hoodie thus far.

Prices are all over the place here with most of the stores having the same stuff but a range of $5 between them or so.

Also found a disc golf store and they had quite the selection of new discs. Nothing used and nothing that I had to have. They did have some stamped with the Queenstown logo, but not in any discs that I would want to use. From the looks of our schedule we might get back early enough to play disc golf tomorrow. There is a very nice course within about 10 minutes of us (walking), so it's on the "must do" list.

We also are going to the movies tonight!!!

Going to see Thor Ragnarok before it is even available in the states. Plus, it's a special preview here, so it's even before it's released to NZ. Theater only seats 100, so we're going to get there nice and early so we can get a good seat.Read more
