Strahan To Queenstown..

Queenstown…hmm, we should have stayed at Strahan as we wouldn’t have gotten under a weather bomb which saw our helmet cheek pads get soaked from underneath from the rain bouncing back up off the road.

Another wee shower but not intense.

 

Arriving at QT we were slightly wet at all our sleeve ends and neck etc, our Klim gear keeping everything out elsewhere but the temp dropped to 7 degs so we were cold.

Queenstown was an interesting place and not really Queenstown as we know it, cool none the less.

 


After a quick discussion we opted for our very first backpacker room which had a heater so that was great for drying our helmet linings and gloves.

On exiting QT the next day it was not a lot better and our drive out of there was cloudy and like riding in a Tupperware container however it did clear and the rest of the ride was great with a stopoff at “The Wall”, no pics as we were not allowed cameras in there.
