There was a go-cart type run down the mountain, but driving a real car is much more of the thrill.
The downtown is stuffed with tourist offices, restaurants and bars.
Surrounded by mountains and lakes
And a Starbucks! (typical aussie/kiwi roofline)
A word about coffee. I've had maybe 3 cups of brewed coffee since we've arrived in Australia. Otherwise it's all been Expresso in various forms: Short White, Cappuccino, Latte and my favourite: Long Black which is double Expresso plus some hot water. Overall the coffee is consistantly good, but sometimes you have to wait for the barista. Timmy's 'double-double' would loosely translate as 'short white with extra sugar'.
Queenstown Hill Walkway
First tramp (aka hike) is up the hill overlooking Queenstown to 904m.
A bit of art on the hill
This is the top of the gondola.
Rain cloud moving down the lake
We glanced over our shoulders to see this
A few minutes later, it was gone
On the way back down: mom and the kids
We drove up to Glenorchy, passing more incredible scenery
More sheep
