MONDAY – JANUARY 13, 2014
BOTTOM LINE:
Stayed in Queenstown…
BACK STORY:
Slept in until 9am,
which was sooooo nice!!!
After breakfast we went
on a two-hour walked through the botanical gardens of Queenstown. It was nice to find the identity of the trees
and flora labeled. They actually had
three healthy Sequoia trees along with many species from other parts of the US.

Over in one area of the park there was a tribute to some explorers of Antarctica. It sounded much like the Shackleton exploration of tragedy and triumph…minus the triumph. Two letters were so well written that I took a picture.

In the middle of the park was a large well-manicured lawn bowling facility. We also found some tennis courts that were filled with players and small kids that were taking lessons. We sat and watched.

Grabbed some wonderful parsnip-spinach-bacon soup and bread for lunch before heading back to do laundry and planning.
Already for our
departure on yet another Kiwi Experience bus tomorrow…beginning our adventure
and return to the northern parts of New Zealand.
