3 November 2013 ~ Queenstown Hotel View

Listening to:  Dead Man's Bones ~ Lose Your Soul


I had a beautiful view of Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand's longest lake and third largest. It is surrounded by The Remarkables Mountain Range.

Steamers Wharf was very active, even for a rainy afternoon. Lots of boating activities to choose from, as well as dining/pub establishments.

I did  not go up the Skyline Gondola to the restaurant up top...I didn't think I'd get a very good view in the rain.

I caught a glimpse of this guy on a bike with a tuba.

He did catch up to the rest of his band. I found out it was a jazz festival that weekend, but I don't know if they were part of the acts.

Here is a statue of the "founder" of Queenstown, William Gilbert Rees. He settled near here in 1852 as a sheep farmer.
