NZ - BACK TO QUEENSTOWN

ALSO A NICE PLACE TO REST WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE IS TRYING TO BURN SOME CALORIES

NOVEMBER 2001



"QUEENSTOWN - In September 1999, President Clinton was the first US president ever to visit Queenstown. So what?..."


"QUEENSTOWN GARDENS - piece of rainbow"




"WAKATIPU LAKE is to be coolly cruised. Jetboating, riverboarding, rafting, kayaking, funyak or bungee jumping are to be «enjoyed» nearby. Here the lake can be seen at different times of the day, but it was not rather sunny..."


"EARNSLAW - The cruise is to be made on the Earnslaw. Built by J.McGregor and Co in Dunedin, the TSS Earnslaw cost twenty thousand eight hundred and fifty pounds to complete in 1912..."


"WALTER PEAK FARM - The sun shines for sheep shearing, sheep dog demonstration and complimentary morning or afternoon tea!"


"THE HERITAGE HOTEL - Brilliantly positioned, the Heritage has magnificent views. That's all!"




"THE HERITAGE HOTEL - The views are actually magnificent, even if these were taken from a suite with a side view to the lake. The rest, as far as I can remember - staff attention, services, reservation handling, etc... - is better to be forgotten"


"DOCKS, with cruise ship"



"ARROWTOWN - Twenty-one kilometers from Queenstown, Arrowtown is a combination of historic buildings and quiet charm. The New Zealand Historic Places Trust protect the historical heritage of more than 70 buildings in Arrowtown, including The Lakes District Museum"
