Queenstown and Lake Hayes

Debonair traveller ...

Slight delay in boarding NZ 232 but a friendly tailwind set usdownat Queenstown International Airportahead of schedule. Paul arrived promptly aboard his X5 with Mikayla and 10 minutes later we arrived at their magnificent crib, perched above Lake Hayes.

I have been busy photographing their wonderful sculptures and artworks against the backdrop of Coronet Peak and the Richardson Mountain Range. To the southeast lie The Remarkables, covered in snow, while to the northeast lies the Crown Range.
The shots here feature Sasha, the debonair dog of Olive Ln.
Beside her, her owner Paul, next to his wedding gift to Justine.

Dinner that night was superb, setting the scene for meals to come. Well, perhaps the spaghetti Bolognese we cooked might be an exception.
First night was sirloin accompanied by...
Wines Consumed:
2008 Amisfield Pinot Gris, 2007 mitre rocks Pinot noir, Pisa range Pinot noir 2006. All Central Otago wines
