On The Road To Queenstown

Queenstown is in the middle of South Island as on the circuit list.  The photo you say above I took somewhere on the road.  I don't know exactly but it reminded of the American West like Montana.  New Zealand is a combination of the US West, Hawaii, Ireland, England, New England and a little bit of France thrown in.  The great thing about traveling is not all the places you visit but the traveling in between.  I spent Christmas eve in Queenstown and left the next day at noon.  There was not much to do there and I was itching to get back on the road. Driving can do that to you.  You can get addicted to the road.
Christmas Eve 


Everything was pretty much closed Christmas day but I found a Chinese noodle place open.  Incidentally the only other people in there were a couple from Hong Kong that were on my Glacier expedition.  New Zealand is really a small country.  You bump into people you know even if you don't know any people.  Photo below is Queenstown at dusk.
