Queenstown beer/wine count!

Well, I happened to be passing through ZQN a couple of days ago, so I thought it would be rude not to keep everyone updated on the beer/wine count there!

6 beers and 3 wines. Now, don't ask me whether they were white or red, because I can't remember! They were all in the fridge though.

Didn't spend much time in the lounge, as initially I hadn't been given the pin code, so had to go right back to check-in to get it (security, if done at all, is done right at the gate before you board the aircraft, so practically the whole airport is "landside"), and once I got in there, I didn't really want anything and the view was much better from the airport cafe downstairs!

We took off to the West, right back over Queenstown and the captain reduced power after take-off in order for us to get a better and longer last look ^ at the beautiful town and its surroundings, before we powered up and away over the mountains.
