On to Queenstown....

A couple of days after the wedding, we all (Mum, Robin, Pat, Jim, Aunty Jan, Uncle Mal, Brody, Tori and I) drove to Queenstown for a couple of days.

My good friend Sue lives only 1/2 hour from Mum, and she managed to score us a house for $60 a night...right in the centre of Queenstown....but before we got to Queenstown.....this was the drive....

It all went so well!!!!

Mum looked beautiful, and her and Robin make such a great couple!

Snow in Queenstown...

...actually the snow was at Coronet Peak.

We have just spent 4 nights in Queenstown. Managed to get a bargain of a deal, with my friend booking us a house right smack in the centre of the town. Nine of us stayed the first 2 nights, then Sue came with one of her kids for a night, and then Brody, Tori and I stayed a 4th night.

Whilst Sue was with us, she drove us up to Coronet Peak for the day. It was the kids first touch of snow :)

Brody tried snow boarding......

...and Tori went skiiing...

...while Sue and I sat inside the warm cafe drinking coffee and eating....oh, and we managed to fit in a neck and shoulder massage :)
