Dunedin to Queenstown - Part 2

The air was so still that Lake Dunstan was like a mirror!  Awesome sight!



We came upon Cromwell and just as we cross Lake Dunstan, it was quite a sight from the Lookout point just before we cross the bridge.  The whole lake was like a mirror.  Our photo did not show this as clearly but it was a really pretty sight!

From Cromwell we drove on and past numerous wineries in the Gibbston valley area (Central Otago is fast developing into an up and coming vineyard area).  Then we drove past the turnoff to another historic gold mining town called Arrowtown.  Then finally got to Queenstown and we started to look for my daughter's motel where they are based for the 5 days 5 nights camp.

I off loaded her and her baggage and then head off to my own backpackers for my stay in Queenstown!  Yeah, she gets the nice place to stay and I'm on a budget!!!


The long drive though very scenic was a bit overcast with light showers along the way.
