andrewg > A stop on the road back to Te Anau for the Kepler Track. I like their variety of offerings.
andrewg > An internet cafe in Queenstown. Because of its high density of young tourists, Queenstown boasts at least three internet cafes, and in the evening they're all full.
andrewg > The Kiwi is a flightless bird that New Zealanders have embraced as their mascot, and New Zealanders often refer to themselves, proudly, as "Kiwis." The Kiwi birds are nocturnal, and I never saw a live one on the track. This statue is quite a bit larger than the average Kiwi (bird or human).
andrewg > The downtown dock at Queenstown.
andrewg > All over the world, people are inventive with their use of apostrophes!
andrewg > A boat coming back at the end of a day's tour in Queenstown. The lake is a major activity center for the town, with people sailing, water-skiing, and paragliding.
andrewg > The Queenstown weekend market has a great feel to it. This fellow was playing guitar and singing along with a whole backup band playing out of MIDI controlled box next to him, and it sounded great. He was playing what I came to feel was the theme music of the trip: classic rock songs from the 70's and 80's, from Billy Joel and Elton John to Bruce Springsteen.
andrewg > All over New Zealand you can find Maori-inspired carvings in jade and bone (cow bone is used now, rather than whale bone). The workmanship varies tremendously, of course. Eric Dyer makes and sells his own pieces - the quality is very high and his prices excellent. Plus, Eric is a very nice guy! Blob and I talked to him in Dunedin, I saw him again in Te Anau, and then again at this weekend market in Queenstown! I bought a couple of pieces from him at the market and we chatted. He got me interested in carving, which would inspire me to spend a day in Hokitika much later, designing and carving my own piece. With that experience, I now have even more respect for the quality of his pieces.
