Day 224 Monday, March 14th. Te-Anau through Queenstown to Glenorchy




We stopped at Stu’s place on the way to check out his fly fishing shop and guided fishing tours. NZ$750/day for max. 2 people and NZ$500 per ½ day. Clearly a life-long passion for this 30 something man with pictures of him as a boy in Scotland, with his Grandad, winning all sorts of prizes for fly-fishing plastered all over his shop walls. We would like to do this but he’s booked this week and, anyway, it’s blowing a gale today and it was difficult to keep the van in a straight line while driving.
We stopped once again in Queenstown for a coffee but then drove to Glenorchy to stay the night. It’s raining hard now and looks as though it will do that all night and into early tomorrow, we will see if we can get any hiking in tomorrow. Omelettes in the camper van for dinner and we’ll read our books and listen to the rain.
We actually went for a riverside walk (“Diamond Creek) in the drizzle.
The two pictures of Christine show that we have moved from a summer in Australia to a Fall/Autumn in New Zealand in just two weeks. It's all great.
