Our top Picks in Queenstown

Before we say goodbye to Queenstown we need to say a big blogging thank you to the beautiful Pick family (Barry, Ruth, Beth & Jack) for putting us up, and putting up with us during the past two weeks. They are our top Picks in Queenstown!

It was not only the Picks who made us feel so welcome in their home, but so many of our old friends who we managed to catch up with, or bump into, and who invariably greeted us with “Welcome Home”. Thank you to all of you for the lunches, dinners, drinks, coffees and cakes – we’ve a lot to burn off in the next few weeks!

It may be five years since we called this area home, and so much has changed in that time in terms of higher density development, and the subsequent loss of the small town feel of the place (there’s traffic lights & traffic jams now!), but there is no denying the outstanding natural beauty of the mountains and lakes, all of which are still so accessible.

It’s likely going to be a while before we get back here again, and until we do we will treasure the special memories of the past couple of weeks always. Now we’re off to Auckland to collect our bikes and start our bike tour in the North Island!
