Our third day begin with an early shuttle to the airport for an early flight from Auckland, on the north island, to Queenstown, on the south island.
A few hours later found us at our new hotel from where we walked down to the bay to find lunch before our Lord of the Rings tour began.

After completing the tour, we rode the gondola up the mountain and the girls did a couple of runs down “The Luge”, which I can best describe as a cross between a bicycle and a sled.



Dinner in town and some grocery shopping for the next day’s picnic lunch completed our day’s activities.

Those sleds the kids are riding look way fun. Glad you are having a good time here. Jealous as well.
