Across the lake for BBQ buffet dinner.

Tonight's buffet dinner was at Walter Peak High Country Farm which is on the other side of Lake Whakatipu from Queenstown.

To get there we sailed on the TSS Earnslaw. It is a coal fired steamship built in 1912, the same year as the Titanic. It burns a ton of coal per hour! There's talk of making it more eco friendly - but how???

The buffet was excellent - plenty of seafood, meats and desserts.

After dinner, we all walked to the little amphitheatre for a shearing demonstration, but the highlight was Mia, the border collie, herding the sheep back down the hill.

We set sail to return to Queenstown at 9.30 and were back at our hotel at 10.30.Les mer
