Day 10

- in Queenstown shopping.

We had a hilarious opening to our shopping day together. Keith and I parked the car at Clive & Di's hotel and walked into town. Sms'd them to say we were on our way and they said to meet us at Starbucks. Well, we walked straight past them (couldn't see the place for looking), all the while being chased by 4 Rankins, shouting "Keith, Ruth!". We finally met up - ha ha. Diane was a great shopping partner and we steadily worked our way around the flea-market and town. Got some lovely items of clothing, and some great gifts. Queenstown is a great shopping hub, despite being a bit more pricey than other towns on the South Island.

Clive & Di needed to get going mid afternoon, so we said our goodbyes and wandered back into town and re-visited some stalls at the flea-market before going for a steak at Prime. We had a delightful waitress from Dublin and she couldn't have been kinder - fetching and carrying for Zack who was ratty tat tat with a sore bum. Put Zack to bed and then had a lovely cocktail on the balcony. Yes, please !
