Goodbye Wanaka – 4/3/16

The bus was late leaving. Our new driver ‘Lego’ was ‘awesome’ driving a bus called Dennis – not the usual Stray bus and had been in difficulties the day before. We set off – supposed to be in Queenstown by about 2.30. So, we stop at Mrs Jones’s fruit shop for fruit and frozen fruit ice cream – can one resist?! Onwards to the original A J Hackett bungy jumping base. Some jumped, i watched but after a few mins had seen enough. So had 2 mandarins in car park and eventually went for a cuppa – always the best thing to do if in doubt! Ok! Off to Queenstown – but alas alack, the bus broke down! We were already late so one hour later our knight in shining armour arrived! We got to Queenstown at 4.45pm. Got my bottom bunk. Now had wine and beer and a chicken burrito and it is 6.25pm. Will go for a bit of a wander, then shower and bed. Up early me thinks in the morning (7?). Off to
Gunn’s Camp tomorrow. Apparently some kind of old work camp. We’ll see! Only one night and then hop off at Te Anau for Doubtful Sound. Can’t wait. Forgot to say landscape changed to quite mountainous and it reminded me of Wales except the river was jade green!
