One Day in Queenstown

We had the day off today so we cruised down to Queenstown with the intention of seeing a movie and so some of the boys could do some shopping. It was snowing like crazy on the drive over so we ended up missing the movie showing.. twice. We just ended up eating lunch and heading home after the boys did thier shopping. We took the long way back to Wanaka to avoid trecherous snowy roads in our sweet MiniBus and in a split second decision (as in the turn in 400 metres sort of decision) we decided to go to the cellar door of a winery to do a tasting. Here are some photos from the day.

The Barrels aging the 2010 Pinot Noir at the Peregrine Winery


The Boys and I wine tasting.


This is one of the buildings at the winery.


This Gondola is in Queenstown, I have no idea where it goes but it is ridiculously steep, so I took a photo.


We saw this sheep farmer at the bottom of Snow Park yesterday. This place really lives up to the cliche, there are sheep everywhere!
