Up early and dear Josemi had a nice continental breakfast all laid out for us and was up to say good-bye. Night owl Art was still sleeping when we left ;-) We returned the car to the airport and made our way to the gate about 2 hours before flight time as directed by the Air NZ person on the phone--no security checks at all for the local flight and we really just cooled our heels the whole time. Picked up our car after a 2 hour flight and drove into Queenstown for lunch. Beautiful setting for the town on a lake surrounded by mountains; we'll come back and take in the sights at a later date. Couldn't find the grocery store so just headed up to the Crown Range highway, a series of steep switchbacks over the mountains.
Arrived in Wanaka late afternoon, did grocery shopping and a couple of errands in the town and then checked in, unpacked, and relaxed. Hal even walked over to the little bar on site and fetched me a gin and tonic--heavenly. Fixed scrambled eggs for dinner and then slept a good 10 hours.
