Drove south through Wanaka and passed some wonderful, expensive homes along Lakeside Drive. Took the crown ridge road out of town across the highest paved road in NZ with vistas at every turn of the road.
Visited Arrowtown which was very twee in early autumn with the leaves turning. Dropping towards Queenstown we stopped and watched a jet on its final approach drop below us between the mountains!
Stopped to enjoy a jet boat ride on the Shotover river - absolutely brilliant fun. Now pulled into a lakeside spot near Kingston for the night and a barbecue.
