NZ Day 7 - 27 Oct

As TSS Earnslaw is celebrating her centenary in the month of October, we brought tickets on the second day of our stay at Queenstown to take the cruise and visit Walter’s Peak Farm.

It started raining before we started our cruise and we stayed in throughout the cruise as the wind was really strong and cold!

However, we managed to catch a rainbow on the sea and was really happy, especially LGD who started dancing (because he said that at the end of every rainbow, there are many carebears dancing there, so he’s joining in too).
 
Reached the very beautiful Walter’s Peak Farm where tulips are grown freely everywhere on the farm ground in many colours. Saw sheep shearing and the sheepdog rounding up the sheep, which was really amazing because the dog can really control the sheep. She will study them very carefully and once any of the sheep makes a movement, she will stare down the sheep to prevent them from running amok and the sheep are REALLY afraid of her. 
 
Afterwards, we had tea in the farm where we had one of the bestest scones with tea.
 
Reached back at Queenstown at about 1plus where we walked around the Art and Creative Market at the Earnslaw park before packing lunch at PJ Fish and Chips again and headed back to our hotel.
 
Seeing all these dogs over the past few days made us miss the dog at home quite badly and it hit me especially bad on this day as the long duration of seperation is affecting me. Looking at the acres and acres of green grassland  in NZ, we really wish that we could bring Cotton here or better, even migrate here with him where he gets acres of nice green grass to sprint on.
