Packed up and on our way by 9.30am and an easy run through to Twizel for morning tea. Then on through the MacKenzie Basin with its barren Dunn coloured Hills and bright turquoise water coloured by glacial dust. We play Spotto sheep or cow but there are an awful lot of large white rocks and dense dark bushes on the majestic mountains to confuse us.
We head into the camping ground at Arrowtown to find a large concrete surround by our tap which really curtails an efficient layout of our site as we want to put up the gazebo.
We are just about to head off to meet Robin and Chris when they text to say they are running late. Still we take off to suss out the Indian restaurant that we are going to at Frankton then head into Queenstown where we hope to go for a walk along the foreshore. But Queenstown is heaving with tourists and we couldn't get a park.
We drive to the new centre at Five Mile and have a walk around there. Then we go back to Frankton and have a drink in the pub before meeting Robin and Chris and their friends Mick and Marilyn. They have just finished the rail trail so much reminiscing and also catching up with family news.
