Queenstown, Otago, New Zealand

The endless summer continues and will be stealing Autumn soon. A year ago we were in Queenstown and you needed a jumper and a coat. Not at present.

We had jumped on the Earnslaw Streamer to the Walter Peak High Country Farm, obtaining lake views of the mountains and a sit down to a coffee for a relaxing few hours return.

The afternoon was spent relaxing on the Steamer Wharf at the cafe drinking some cold IPA. Emerson's Pilsner (drink now as soon to be made flavourless by Lion) and American Pale Ale from Dunedin.

Tea was made up of some Peregrine Pinot Noir 2010 and some pretty shabby fish (cardboard cut outs) and chips (lacked seasoning) from Queenstown. We decided to not wait until we got home but savour these in the local park. Sorry to all the wine purists, but we also drank out of the bottle. The Pinot was jolly good though. Burp !
