Really luv Queenstown.  1886 is my fave pub there - try the ribs there if you get a chance :thumbsup:

 

What's the plan for Sunday?

 

Arrowtown is worth a visit - it's just up the road and the pie shop on the corner as you drive in aint much to look at but has some of the best pies (and pasties) in South Island by my reckoning :beerchug:

Sunday is to Milford Sound and back. Via Hobbiton.

 

Brekkie on the way.

 

Arrowtown will now be brekkie Monday.

Really need @EvilDaifu on this trip - am failing on the photo evidence side of things.

Lunch was expensive today (ended up going to a awesome pub on the recommendations  of one of the local constabulary)

 

We're striking out with the chicks though :(

At Dunedin tonight.

 

Great days of leaving skid marks around NZ

 

Off to Christchurch tomorrow and joining up with @Wenier for some recommend roads. 

 

Car is pretty awesome, luxurious, comfy, chick magnet etc. Bit of tweaking and it'd be magical.

Mine pulls harder, stops better and handles better but aren't complaining ;)

 

Foods great, roads are great, coppers are polite and friendly, scenery is breathtaking, people talk funny, petrol is fucking ridiculously expensive ($2.50/l compared to the $0.70?? I pay at home for gas - $120 for 500kms vs $50 at home) The AMG is decent on economy though - not a Hyundai,  but not a siphon.

 

Pics/vids to come when I get to them.

 

Anyone looking to join us definitely should.

Shag is a type of bird apparently.

 

"As wet as a shag on a rock" is a saying (that I'd never heard of) relating to that.

 

No shags were seen at the point, but there was a seal
