Because rain killed our hiking plans we headed through wine country towards Queenstown. We stopped at beautiful Gibston Valley Winery for a tasting of mainly Pinot grapes but also a Riesling. Then we popped by the old gold town Arrowtown for a tea/coffee and a look at famous NZ photographer Craig Pottons gallery.
We realized it would be difficult to find a place to stay in QT and a few calls around confirmed our fears, but by a chance we found a nice place of the road 5 k from the city.
In the afternoon we got our first long awaited spot of Kiwi birds at Kiwi Birdlife Park, they look like superfast big meatballs. :) We finished the day with a nice meal at an Indian place before heading back to our room. Weather will probably be crappy tomorrow as well but we have hope.
