Queenstown, 1st night downunder

The new year is here and we are in Queenstown, New Zealand. We left home at about 3:30 PM not knowing how bad the traffic might be from home to LAX. The traffic for Friday was pretty light. We arrive at LAX at about 5:40, returned the rental car and got checked-in by 6:30. It was a long wait for our 11:25 flight but it gave use time to renew friendships with the 5 other couples that met at LAX. We had a twelve hour flight from LAX to Auckland, three hour layover, and a two hour flight to Queenstown. We got about 6 hours of sleep and watched 2 movies.

After getting check into the hotel we put together our tandam that made the long trip without an inspection or damage. We had the bike together and ready to ride by 6:30, just enough time to clean up and head to the restaurant for our first group dinner. The food at the Prime restaurant was delicious. Queenstown is a real nice small city. We will be here for two night so after tomorrows 29 mile ride we will explore this city some more.
