Today’s destination was Queenstown, reached after another full day of driving but again through fabulous scenery. As we had changed hire car and driver the back roads leaving Christchurch seemed the ideal place to execute our second near accident. New Zealand drivers can be so polite when flustered! The drive was broken at lunchtime with a visit to a lake, church and honoured sheep dog (this is New Zealand) at Lake Tekapo. We arrived at Queenstown in the rain. Rain would put a dampener on the activity whirlwind we intended for the next four days. Thankfully the weather was forecast to improve so we collected a brochure to plan the hedonistic section of the trip. A discovery of a micro brewery (Dux de lux) brightened the mood and although they insist on carbonating the beer it was to our taste.
