Last day in Queenstown

Today is my last day in Queenstown. I've had a great mix of adrenaline experiences and day trips seeing the wider area and stunning locations
I will miss waking up to my lake View and snow capped mountains each day
I booked a trip for Sunday but it was cancelled and postponed till today.
So ,another early start to visit Glenorchy and Paradise. Maybe because it was after the epic doubtful sound yesterday but I was underwhelmed by both places
Glenorchy is a small local village with nothing happening and the area known as Paradise,in no way matches my vision of Paradise
I've learned that Nz farmers are moving away from sheep 🐑 farming to cattle farming
We collected refreshments in Glenorchy and took them to the Paradise area where we had the refreshments at the side of the minibus in the least scenic location iv visited the whole time. I've been here .It was however an area I'd flown over in the helicopter and had been used for some other world scene in Lord of the rings
Apparently Brad Pitt is currently filming in the area and Taylor swift has also filmed here .
They have rivers known as braided rivers ,which in the UK would look like there is a drought, but, this is a deliberate kind of low water river where the water appears to run in channels.
On our return to Queenstown, I returned to my accommodation tidied my room and packed my bags!🥲
Once I was all sorted I returned to my favourite restaurant in Queenstown, called Boardwalk, where I've had several excellent meals at a table by the window so I could look out at the waterside. Returning to my room wasn't as bad as yesterday as I'd left the heating on .Read more
