We left our motorhomes behind at Queenstown and switched accommodation there. We were staying in this very spacious stone house near the centre of Queenstown. It was a short walk to town but it was a VERY steep hill 🙂

We took a trip on the TSS Earnslaw along Lake Wakatipu. This a view from the ship – and eight frame heldheld panorama

The 46km (45 minute drive) Glenorchy-Queenstown road hugs the edge of Lake Wakatipu and is in a word spectacular. Stupendous even

They say this is one of the top scenic drives in the world and it was easy to see why

This is a 180˚ panoramic view taken from out in the middle of the lake looking back along the lakes edge

We had one more night with our motorhomes so we drove right past Queenstown. Driving along the incredibly beautiful road which hugs Lake Wakatipu on the way to Glenorchy

We had planned to stay at the DOC Twelve Mile Delta Campsite but it was frankly very uninspiring

We took a chance an travelled further up the road to a free camp at Twenty Five Mile Stream
