In a Gondola, and Just NO Cornetto....🍦

After the LOTR Safari we made our way back to our accomodation for a bite to eat before venturing into downtown (literally - the hills are that steep) Queenstown making our way to the Gondola🚠 ride, which takes you 480m up over Lake Wakatipu to the top of Bob’s Peak. Up there you enjoy spectacular views of Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Walter and Cecil Peak, and, of course, Queenstown ⛰️ and also the daring hang-gliders🪂 jumping off the mountain. After coming down, we headed into Anita's Gelato for well deserved ice-creams. Walking further down the hill, we came across the usual tourist places offering excursions where I booked a fly 🚁- cruise🚢 - fly🚁 trip by helicopter for a cruise on Milford Sound. By coach, this is an all-day (10 hours) excursion, but Jayne didn't fancy it, so flying it was only 4 hours. Wandering through this relatively small lakeside town we came across street sellers selling fresh oysters, and fruit etc.After a lovely meal in an Italian restaurant we made our way UP-hill🧗🧗‍♀️ as the sun-set back to our hotel as it's another early start for me in the morning.Read more
