From A Church To A Thai Restaurant in Queenstown

It was Christmas Day. Yes, this was two months ago (already?!). We attended Christmas mass at St. Joseph Catholic church in Queenstown, a nice, small church with the most fantastic views and one priest!! Then headed downtown afterwards.



It was quiet, most shops and restaurants were closed. So we all were hungry and had no reservation anywhere, we decided to park our car and walked around to see which place that was inviting to our rumbling tummy and could win a majority vote among the five of us. Somehow, we ended up eating in this small Thai restaurant. It had a very nice ambience and a friendly server, only one for the whole restaurant that had around 10-12 tables or so. We had our usual Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Thai Green Curry and White Rice, which was cutely served in the teddy bear shape!! And for a change, we ordered Thai Beef Salad and Chili Prawn. Nice foods! We left the restaurant felling happy and full indeed. A different kind of Christmas meal to remember!

From Queenstown & Around

Foods, animals, scenery, scenery, green scenery and more green scenery, mountain, mountain and lake and lake and lake. That's New Zealand.







I know that we will be traveling again in less than a month so I thought I should post some of my pictures from Queenstown, a little tourist town in South Island in New Zealand. Great weather, great scenery, lots of things to do, including bungy jumping - not for us -, interacting with animals and speed boat. Also Thai food, Thai food and more Thai food. We had Thai food within ten days being in New Zealand, more than we had ever had in 2007. Wherever we went, we kept on seeing one Thai restaurant after another and some Indian ones. Interesting!
