Sorry for the delay, again having to look for a computer to use.
Sunday was fairly uneventful. We got up and checked out of our hotel and visited a couple of wineries after sleeping in late for once. We ate lunch at Twelve Trees Restaurant and then proceeded to the airport. We waited at the airport for our plane and killed the time by playing Skipbo. We then flew from Blenheim to Christchurch and then on to Queenstown. Our lodge (Lomond Lodge) in Queenstown has the most spectacular view of the lake and the mountains. We got out of our room quickly and walked around town. We stopped at a couple of stores, then proceeded to dinner at Monty's Bar. Greg got a sampler of beer that was enormous, he didn't even finish them all. After dinner we walked around the lake and watched the most beautiful sunset. Then we went to Minus 5, an ice bar. It was very neat inside, but not as cold as I expected it to be. Everything in the bar, including the glasses and seats, were made out of ice. You were given big ski jackets to wear inside along with gloves since it is rather cold. Hopefully we will have those pictures up for you soon.

Was there anything warm to drink at the Ice Bar? Glad you finally did sleep in a little you have got to be a little on the tired side. Continue to have fun and enjoy for the rest of us.

Finally - a day you could wind down and rest a bit. We were beginning to wonder if you were ever going to have one.
Can't wait to see the pictures -

They can't serve warm drinks at the ice bar... it would melt your cup.
