Thursday Feb 4, 2010 – Invercargill

We decided not to do much today or tomorrow. We thought of going to Steward Island but decided not to. It meant an early morning and long day. We headed into Invercargill. We thought we would see the gardens at Queens Park. We also wanted to grocery shop so stopped at the Info centre to find out where to do that.

We had a wonderful lunch at a small cafe not far from the park. We also found a New World Grocery store in the same area.

We spent a couple of hours walking through the gardens and grounds of the park. It was very tranquilly. We saw some beautiful flowers and plants. The trees were very tall. It reminded me of the start of the Friendly Giant kids show. "Look up. Way up." It was getting quite hot as the clouds had burned off. A wonderful way to spend a quiet afternoon.
