Hi everyone. We had a quiet day today in Queenstown. Mum was feeling the effects of traveling and time differences so we didn't do much.
Had a stroll around town and nice lunch in one of the cafes and browsed around the shops. A couple of glasses of wine on the balcony and an early night. Camera wasn't used today but plenty more photo opportunities coming up.   ;D
Cuilidh have been to Lake Tekapo and it is very beautiful especially with the little church with the lake backdrop.
NZ is a stunningly beautiful country  :)
Cookie mum wants to go up the gondola to the restaurant for buffet dinner so will do that on Sunday. Stunning views from the top as I am sure you will remember  :D

Have you been to the pizza place with the roof that opens? It's a great little place with yummy gourmet pizza menu.

Go out to Amisfield and Gibbston. They are my faves.  Did "trust the chef" at Amisfield recently and was great.  Gibbston is always worth a visit too IMHO. .

I love both Amisfield and Gibbston Jude. Planning to go one day next week. Will  stop at Amisfield first so mum can look at the menu as she can be quite difficult to please as she is a very fussy eater and has more dislikes than likes unfortunately  :o

Travelling with someone who is a bit of a fussy eater can be difficult, MF.  A couple of years ago my cousin's daughter and her friend were in Melbourne visiting us (they are from Glasgow).  I took them down to St Kilda market on the Sunday and the only place they wanted to eat was at Subway!  Until then I had never been inside that chain of restaurants - and I've got to say, I have never been back.  Hope you managed to steer your mum to somewhere nice.
