Queenstown

Thursday, July 1.  A sunny and warm day in Queenstown (mid-50s).  The town is named for Queen Victoria and considers itself the adventure capital of the world.  My big adventure was a visit to a spa.  Andy, Louise, and Kevin went skiing, while Liz and I enjoyed a quiet day.  I have an incredible view of the mountains from my hotel room and I am enjoying it!  This picture is what is in front of our hotel --  Lake Wakatipu with the Remarkables mountain range (part of the Southern Alps) in the background.  For those Lord of the Rings fans -- this is the area of New Zealand where it was filmed.
