Activities, today and tomorrow
With sympathy to those of you freezing at home, it's a beautiful Summer day here in Queenstown. And we're into activities. Today the Lake Wakatipu cruise on the Steamship Earnslaw (the one 'old fogey' activity, so we signed up right away), and the gondola ride for a panorama over Queenstown and its surrounding lakes (definitely teal) and mountains (called The Remarkables, with good reason). Barb pictured on the viewing platform.
Tomorrow we step it up with the Shotover Jet (see yesterday's blog). We'll let you know about the health benefits.
U3As here tend not to meet in January. However, it was suggested we contact the Chair of Dunedin U3A, Dr Graham Mortimer, at his summer home here. We did, and he and his wife have invited us to dinner tonight. Very nice, though we've kind of forgotten how to socialise. Time for a clean shirt, I guess.
We'll report back tomorrow.
Glad you're going to opt for the Shotover Jet! Sounds like Nancy's ponchos will come in useful again - the photo of Stew dressed in his cape brought back great memories of autumn evenings we spent fishing Gorleston harbour for whiting in the 1960s.
