Still in Queenstown!
Up bright and early ready for our flight to Milford Sound but sadly the weather intervened again and we are now booked for Sunday!
Probably no bad thing as the previous evening the ever vigilant lady wife noticed that one of the tyres of the campervan was looking a bit flat. We checked it in the morning and clearly it was well down. Fully inflated we set off for Glenorchy with stupendous views all along Lake Wakatipu. Having arrived at Glenorchy we decided to check said tyre again and oh dear, there was obviously a slow puncture and the thought of jacking up a campervan and changing the wheel myself did not really appeal. No mobile phone signal but a very friendly lady at the information office allowed us to use her phone to contact Maui and they directed us to their very efficient repair specialists in Queenstown. A few minutes later we were on our way again and headed into Arrowtown for a well deserved late lunch. We declined the opportunity to pan for gold and wandered around the beautifully restored old town.
Inspite of the tyre drama we have had another wonderful day in NZ. I really am running out of superlatives and awesome may have to return soon.
