We have been on a break from the tour in the thriving metropolis of Queenstown (8,000 residents). Did some laundry and ate food of choice at our leisure. This is also a ski town and reminds Anne and I a lot of Whistler in Canada. It has a walking only town center and a gondola close by. Today we went up the gondola to get the bird's eye view of the surrounding area and visited a bird sanctuary. We saw a kiwi for the first time (they are endangered and nocturnal creatures so they are hard to find in the wild). I was walking around in my neon glow bicycle jacket and one of the natives heckled me because only the street workers wear neon yellow. It was all in good fun. I am posting some of my fav shots from the trip down the west coast of the island and also a shot of Queenstown from the gondola ride. Also, I could no resist one on Anne trying to wrestle a pistol out the hand of a gold miner. I may not be posting again for a couple of days as we may be out of phone reach. Cheers!
