After yesterdays stormy day we woke up with hope for a better day. we started off in the rain with grey cloudy skies and a cold wind.

The road inland towards Queenstown was through miles of agricultural and animal farms with very few towns. The hills and valleys were green and lush vegetation. We saw sheep cattle and deer farms.

The weather was getting better as we reached Lake Wakatipu this is our first view.

The clouds were full of rain but we managed to explore Queenstown in the dry.

It was cold though and we kept our coats on! This is the steam boat we have booked to go on tomorrow The TSS Earnslaw. Also Grandma found a kiwi bird!

We progressed on up the lake to the end at Glenorchy. It felt like we were in the Lake District and very like the Scottish highlands.

Although it kept spotting with rain We found a parking area out of the wind and sheltered. So I took lots of photos.Here are a few.

Hope You are all feeling well and sending you love. We have a nice lodge house for 3 nights near to the airport. We have just treated ourselves to a lamb shank dinner with lots of vegetables, very yummy!
