Queenstown, New Zealand January 5, 2010 5:30pm This afternoon, Joanne and I have taken it easy. After our tour, we went into town for some lunch at the highly recommended Fergburger, well known for, you guessed it, its burgers. The wait can be long, but our order was ready in 15 minutes.

Queenstown, New Zealand January 5, 2010 5:00pm NZT Please see uploaded photos here. We’ve got a double bed and a bunk set in our room, so I went for the top bunk last night.

We are traveling with almost a full coach of people, many whom have been touring the North Island, 10 of us who joined today for a seven-day trip around the South Island. Our travel guides are Craig (also the bus …continue reading
