Day 1 - Evening

After some introductions in the hotel lobby, Trey and Curtis led us on a short hike to the lake for some startup photos. I needed to set my camera on bracketing three photos +1 0 and -1 for editing tomorrow. The walk down led us to a path that encircles the lake and leads into Queenstown. While we were on the trail several runners and cyclists passed our group. It was quite busy for dusk.

Dinner was held in the Rees Hotel and was outstanding. This menu was delicious. Since lamb is so central to New Zealand I was expecting to have it at at least one meal while here. So we begin with delicious lamb shoulder. The pumpkin soup had chopped truffles in it and delicious.

We are off to a great start, nice people, nice hotel and nice food and wine. Up early and meet in the lobby at 6:30am.
