We have been making our plans whilst on the run so it was not until lunch in Bluff that we decided to book accomodation in Queenstown- it was about then that we found Queenstown was chocka. It took a fair bit of effort (on the behalf of others) but we finally scored an apartment at Peppers. We made the obligatory stop at E Hayes in Invercargill, home of Burt Munro's world famous "Fastest Indian ". What a treasure trove that place is! The ride to Queenstown was right up there with the best of them, the last 30km of fast, tight and windy corners being a real rush, with very little traffic to distract us from the sheer joy of being on the road . For the whole of our adventure, 7 days and nearly 4000km, My radar detector has provided sterling service and kept us (perhaps undeservedly) from too much unwanted attention, and for that I'm very pleased. We may have gone fairly fast from time to time, but never st a risk to ourselves or others - the odd errant sheep being the exception. so, what to do on St Patricks Day in Queenstown? A few drinks whilst wearing silly hats, a couple of successful hours at the Casino then back into the bars, being conspicuously amongst the oldest party people in this town full of young travelers.
Not quite sure where the time went but it was well into Friday morning before we scored freshly baked meat pies to much while we staggered back to our room. This morning has started very slowly as we contemplate our moves for the day. One or two are mindful that blowing into the bag could be embarrassing . Comments are closed.
