Queenstown (13th, 14th)
First day in Queenstown and the cloud is hanging low across the mountains in the morning clearing to blue skies and perfect sunshine later. Today I'm in Middle Earth- seeing some of the locations where filming for Lord of the Rings and other films was done. Our guide has many entertaining stories for us about the actors and the locations and when we can't remember a scene he has pictures for us to compare it to. He himself was an extra, an Orc.
14th: Ben Lomond, one the mountains surrounding the lake is my target today- 1748m high it's a fair climb but my legs are a bit more used to it. I also cheat a little by taking the gondola almost half way. The views over Lake Wakatipu and towards Mt Aspiring National park are amazing and it's a great weather day too.
