Te Waipounamu - Queenstown - Frisbee and Feasting!

Opted to walk into town along the bike/walk trail conveniently located right outside our hotel. The path takes you past the Botanical Gardens where we detoured and took the track which loops around the lake. Easy 60 min stroll into the town centre.
After brunch we checked out some retail and gallery stores. Purchased our "Backcountry Cuisine" meals for the tramp and a frisbee at one of the outdoor stores.

We headed back to the Queenstown Gardens to the frisbee golf course. The course is spread over most of the Gardens so it is a great way to tour around while having some free fun (a rarity in Queenstown)!!
I had bought a small 114g frisbee as a souvenir for our granddaughter which posed a bit of a challenge in the windy conditions. However, I still enjoyed the golf round and when accounting for my usual handicap of -20, I carted a respectable score of 76!

The caddy and I then spent the rest of the afternoon eating and drinking and then eating and drinking a bit more with some serious people watching around the wharf precinct.
Queenstown has a good vibe to it, tourists tending to be in the younger demographic compared to other places we have visited - and most appearing to be fitter and healthier that the average tourist!
Plans were hatched to spend the next two days sampling just a few adventurous activities - after all, Queenstown is known as one of the great adventure towns on the planet!
