Another day here in beautiful Queenstown but today it’s been pouring rain. A beautiful rainbow has just appeared north of our hotel. Whereas down south it’s overcast, grey clouds full of moisture and the lake has changed colour from its gorgeous blue to green/grey.
Yesterday we went on an hour and a half cruise on Lake Wakatipu and the landscape was amazing.
The catamaran captain took us out at a great speed and of course went over quite a number of bumpy waves much to the delight of everyone. All our cutlery went flying off the table down beside me. We all had to hold onto our glasses, as it became quite choppy. Once he turned against the wind we were all fine. It was fun!!! Love Chris
It was only 2C yesterday, but today it’s raining and 11C,

We fly in tomorrow evening (Sunday) about 5.30 and then have to hire a car to drive to Goulburn, should get there about 9.00, stay the night, then get up and drive to Holbrook, where my Mother has been staying with my sister Jewls at her holiday home. We will stay Monday night and then drive back home to Newcastle with Mum and her little dog! Back to normality! Julie has to get back to Tumby Bay (South Australia) before Saturday 3rd July to get her partner who has been in respite since Saturday 12th June. Love Chris
Trev has enrolments for the new semester which he has to do on Wednesday, Love Chris
Our grand-daughter moved there some 5 years ago for work, and loved it unfortunately she had a very serious accident and had to return home to the West this year. Right now she is complaining about the cold, will take her at least one more winter before she gets use to it. Sadly she will never be able to return to work, and at the young age of 41 she is finding it very frustrating.
Enjoy the lovely scenery and the weather, it always rain in Queensland, the two times we went it poured down for a couple of days, one thing I would not recommend is visiting there at Christmas time, oh my the humidity was dreadful, even the locals were complaining. LOL
We are in Queenstown, New Zealand where it is really cold, no humidity at all.
I'm with you though about Queensland, the humidity is terrible, as is our home town of Newcastle in the summer. Love Chris
