Anybody Nose What This Is?

Sunday, March 15: We got to sleep in! Wahoo!! We then left this morning and, after getting Lynda a latte and seeing some arts and crafts in the park (yes, Genevieve, we got you a souvenir), we went on a 1912 steamer boat to a working sheep farm about 35 minutes down the lake. The tour was remarkable. We fed sheep, we saw them herded by a border collie, and we saw a sheep shorn. That was the first hour. Then, we had a very scrumptious tea out on a veranda overlooking an English garden and the lake. We then finished our tour by learning about and meeting Highland cattle (that’s snot a good picture of one), red deer, more sheep, and alpacas. We also saw a wool spinning demonstration. After we got back, we went to Arrowtown, a small, historic gold mining town that now has about two blocks of quaint shops and cafes. THEN, after coming back to Queenstown, we went up on the gondola and got views of the whole valley (lake, mountains, downtown…). Here are a few pictures of today’s events: (http://www.flickr.com/photos/27117889@N08/?saved=1). (btw, we went back and added the link to yesterday’s blog. Sorry!) Tomorrow, we head “home” on a 10 hour bus ride (pray for us!), with some stops on the way. Cheers, Kenn and Lynda
