Queenstown

Day 7, Friday: we drove back to Queenstown today. We arrived back at the Queenstown Heritage Hotel and put our bags down and made appointments for massages for later that afternoon. We then went into town for lunch and a little fresh air. This is when we had our brush with fame: we met Shrek.

Shrek is the famous hermit sheep that was discovered after 6 years living in the hills and was front page news while we were in NZ. He was remarkably friendly, which is odd for any sheep, let alone one that lived alone all those years.

That evening, after our wonderful massages, we went back to dinner at the great little restaurant we had tried, and loved, earlier in the week. It was a great day.
