After the excitement of Paragliding it was down to earth with taking in some of the sights of Queenstown at ground level.
Queenstown is a mecca of tourism because of it's beautiful location nestled beside Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by the Remarkables mountain range and other majestic peaks.
We started our second day by having a walk around the Millbrook Resort. A place where the rich and famous go to relax in picturesque surroundings.
After that we visited the ancient town of Arrowtown.

| Do you know this man? |
At the fringe of the town we investigated some remains of an ancient Indian settlement. Large numbers of Indian immigrants came and settled in Arrowtown to try and make their fortune during the Gold Rush!
It was another warm day and we desperately needed to cool off at the lake.
After a few hours of being a tourist we headed back to our accomodation for some rest and relaxation!
For dinner we headed into town for the biggest burgers we had ever eaten! They were delicious!

Thank you for sharing those photos Paul; they're beautiful. I've been to Arrowtown in July and thought it was lovely then but I can see from your pics that summer brings another type of beauty to the town.
