... and Queenstown!

---

We drove over to Queenstown, hitting a couple of vineyards on the way for a couple of tastings. We went up Coronet Peak where Caleb had his first skiing lesson and I had a much-needed refresher lesson. My instructor ended up taking us over this bumpy bit to do little jumps which was a bit too much excitement for me. I took Caleb up a bigger run than his classes had been doing which resulted in the end of my career prospects as a ski instructor. The next day we went up The Remarkables on opening day for another ski which was great. Fantastic weather and a nice relaxing trip (apart from the sore legs).

You're supposed to go down the mountain? Just kidding, Caleb is pausing for a photo obviously.
