queenstown to some where

queenstown to some where
leaving queenstown i head along thought the morning rush hour? to frankton where after looking up where the supermarket is I pick up some food for the next day or so of riding . leaving the city behind riding beside the remarkables passing a ski field or 2 along the way before the roads runs beside lake wakatipe - in a few places i stop to look over at queenstown across the lake. with the road rolling over a few hills ( one of the parts on this road is called the devil's staircase ) at the south end of the lake i decide to take a side trip into the town of kingston -home of the kingston flyer steam train - i did stop to have a look to see if it was running but the place was closed up with it looking like the train was being worked on ? so after getting some photos i headed back on to S.H.6 with only a few more hills to climb over with the road mostly tending down hill as i ride south stoping for some food in a few of the small towns along the way and also trying out a few parts of a new (old rail line) cycle trail before finding some where to set up camp for the night
