NZ done. On to Australia - 11th Dec

Despite the cost and the fact that the entrance resembled a nuclear bunker we liked our apartment in Queenstown. It was great to cook our own food, wash our clothes, and the view was not bad either. We were stopping in the Adelaide YHA tonight so this was positively a luxury.



We had the morning to wander around Queenstown before heading to the airport for our flight to Adelaide via Sydney. With the stopover in Sydney it was going to be a total of 8 hours travelling - 5 hours flying (3 hours to Sydney and another 2 to Adelaide).

Before heading to the airport we went for a walk around Queenstown Gardens, which as well as being very picturesque and well kept, afforded great views of the Lake and town waterfront.



We then grabbed something to eat, collected our bags and caught the shuttle bus to the airport. (I had another Fergburger, well I did not know when I would be back in Queenstown, but this time a Pork belly burger).

Even Heathrow Terminal 5 can not boast a cafe with views like this.

8 hours later we were in Adelaide. We caught the shuttle bus to the YHA and checked in. The YHA was a great place, the facilities were sufficient, the room clean and the YHA lounge had a nice atmosphere to it with youth and not so youthful people relaxing and chatting.

Had we accidentally checked in to Cell Block H?
For the whole of the 5 weeks or so that we are in Australia we only have the 2 days in Adelaide booked and so we headed to the lounge to search the internet for a plan for the next few days. We went to bed having booked a campervan for the Christmas period but not knowing where we would be stopping a day from now. That would be tomorrow's job.
