New Zealand Days 5 and 6

Day 5    Wednesday January 22nd  

Queenstown

A quiet day today, had a stroll to town and a coffee in our favourite cafe next to the church.


on our walk around town saw some nice opals - one costing + £5000 that I liked.  

In the afternoon we drove to the north of lake Wakatipu about 25 miles away.  it rained and then we couldn't start the car whilst parked by the lake away from the village.  Good luck follows us.  We eventually got it started after a phone call and a wet walk.  Never mind we had some nice coffee and yummy carrot cake in the cafe there.


Day 6 Thursday January 23rd

Queenstown to Dunedin

We left for Dunedin today, a 178 mile journey across the southern half of South Island, through fantastic views along the valleys of the Kawarai and the Clutha Rivers. 

  

Arrived in Dunedin about 3 o'clock, our motel is very different to the hotel in Queenstown but it is of a good standard.  Dunedin is an university city, built by the Scots.  Lots of Scottish heritage there.
