We were on the road most of Saturday, trying to reach Glenorchy and Kinloch before nightfall. We stopped in Arrowtown (and as PG mentioned, what happens in Arrowtown, stays in Arrowtown) and then at Queenstown for the gondola ride. On the way down, a Melbourne, AUS couple with matching tour jackets jumped on our gondola at the last minute, even though PG was trying to block the entrance so we could ride down alone. Rather than waiting 30 seconds for the next gondola, this couple decided to sit in front & ruin the view on the way down and any possible romance of the ride. And people think Americans are rude?!!?!
But, the day was redeemed by the drive to Glenorchy & Kinloch, the start of the Routeburn track. It was incrediblely beautiful, and the Kinloch Lodge was great. I saw a 'possum,' this huge rat/racoon like creature walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night, which scared the crap out of me... but other than that, it was great.
