Today's Up in the Air ....... not!

Up bright and early, showered, shaved, and breakfasted, eagerly awaiting 08:45 to phone and check the weather conditions on this beautiful Wednesday morning in Queenstown. Only to be told it's not a beautiful morning in Milford, there is low cloud, and the trip is off 😭. My early morning start turned out to be a relaxing day. After going into town to claim my deposit refund for my excursion and saying no countless times to other options off Milford Sound Fly Over, a Glacier trip and no I don't want to go this afternoon thank you ........ give me a refund 🤑. So what to do? we went back up to the Skyline where the gondola is and went next door to the Kiwi Park. Along with 4 Kiwi's, we also saw a number of other NZ native birds; Kaka, Buff Weka, Red Crowned Kakariki and a Kereru or Wood Pigeon and a Tuatara; a lizard like reptile. On the way back to our accommodation after enjoying another tapas at Soda our favourite lakeside bar where we can relax, eat, drink and people watch, we passed the queue that no matter when you pass is always there with people waiting to buy food from Ferg's. Queenstown is the only place in the world you can buy Ferg's Food despite offers from major worldwide distributors. What's so special, I couldn't say but I was told that you get a menu from Fergs Bakery, then queue to go into the Fergs Butchers to order your food, then wait in Fergs Bar until your order is ready.Read more
