Day 9

- Queenstown with Di & boys. Clive dropped Diane, Christopher and Kenneth off at our cabin this morning around 10am. The boys were soon getting to know one another and we were talking up a storm, catching up on news, life in NZ and all the rest. We went up to the Deer Park in Frankton (near the airport), which was great fun because the boys were so excited about seeing the goats and feeding them, but they were awfully behaved and jumped up a very preggie Diane and gave Zack the willies. So Christopher fed them pellet by pellet which was quite amusing, and Kenneth threw fistfuls of the stuff at them while Keith took photos and Zack hid in the car. Further up the hill we saw the lovely deer with their enormous antlers but couldn't quite get a good angle to photograph them. At the top of the hill is an enormous film set from a Korean movie, and in a closed off road they were building a set for the next X-Men movie (wow!). So we did a U-turn and headed back down the mountain photographing goats, deer and Highland cattle as we went.
Lunch in Frankton and then into meeting Clive in town. We let the boys play on the edge of the lake, throwing stones and pointing at the ducks and para-sailers. There was an excellent busker that evening that we watched for an age, and then headed off to Clive's favourite curry restaurant for a lovely dinner.
