Last time we checked in.. we were getting our van fixed... good news it only took an hour to change out the pads. Scary as the front brakes went out while we where driving out of the Fiords.

We found Stu's famous fly fishing shack and Ken bought a rod and reel.. We found a great stream (opening day) and spent the afternoon fishing for trout. We wrapped up the day driving into Queenstown. we were suprised to discover that it was Halloween and met William Wallace at a pub. We were tired.. and walked around finding a place where we could eat. We actually had the worst meal yet at the World Pub in Queenstown. Ken and Chad had some kind of Meat pie..that the venders were proud of and of course they didn't finish thier meal...The food here is very bland and boring. Funny thing is Laura has gluten free food everywhere.. they know what it is.. and her food is better than the guys.. ha...

We spent Nov. 1 at Queenstown., We liked this town.. yes it was touristy but is was quaint. We had a good breakfast on the wharf. Pier 19. very very good

eggs benedict. We took the gondala ride up to the top of the mountain. Kinda spendy but well worth the view. We rode the Luge. Chad beat us down down the hill when he hired a para glider to the town. Very very cool !

We shared last night with Ken Jones who is a shearer. He cooked us a great Lamb meal. Yum... We got up from his place near Alexadria.. and We currently are at Wanaka Lake.. in a hotel.. hot showers. bed.. and a sofa to sit on.. ...
