Day 4

This will be a very short post just to maintain continuity.  The weather began to deteriorate Monday morning and the forecasts are even more ominous.  Although the weather was threatening, Bec and I decided we would play Queenstown Golf Club.  As I said the weather was getting worse, and the winds began to sweep north across Lake Wakapitu.  By the time we finished, the winds were howling at near 70 KPH or 40-50 MPH.  One thing we are learning in New Zealand is to play in the wind.  The course itself was only mediocre and we would not go back.  We forgot the camera, but I was able to find this picture on the internet to give you some perspective.  No real way to escape the wind as you can see.


We were originally going to Milford Sound on Wednesday, but with the weather worsening, and the road there a perilous journey in and of itself, we will go tomorrow.
