Glenorchy and Lord of the Rings country

Looks like the weather has finally turned true ‘West Coast’. But it doesn’t detract from anything, and we took off from Queenstown to Glenochy for lunch, and possible sightings of Hobbits.



No Hobbits unfortunately (at least nobody without shoes, so couldn’t really check – sorry Austin), but a fabulous lunch. Would highly recommend the steak ‘sammi’ at the Glenorchy Café, viz : toasted home-made bread, piled with – lettuce, rib-eye steak, bacon, sautéed large cremini mushrooms, salsa, all topped with a fried egg, and garnished with ‘jus’ and home made cold slaw. Wow ! Sammis will never be the same again !



The road back to Queenstown, along the shore of Lake Wakatipu, and more waterfalls . . . .
