Easter Trip 14-17th April Part III
We arrived in Glenorchy on Friday evening and booked into our hotel. Isn't this a nice view to have from your hotel room?
Because it was Good Friday, there wasn't very much open in Glenorchy (which, for those of you who are interested, is about the same size as Louisburgh... only with fewer pubs). But there was one place open for pizza in the evening. The girl told us that they were starting their pizza menu at 6:30, so we went for a wee stroll before returning promptly at 6:30. And a good job we did too, because there were no tables left in the place by about 7 or so. Not too surprising, I guess, when it's the only place open in town.
Saturday morning, we started with a yummy breakfast, looking out at the mountains and then we went across the road for our jetboating/funyaking trip. We took a jet boat up the Dart river for about 45 minutes (the heated hand rails were just so great... 'cos at that speed it was very definitely cold.
After we alighted from the jetboat , we inflated our funyaks and set off down the river again. A lot of filming for the Lord of the Rings was done in this area, so our guides were explaining where some of the scenes had been shot... all very Middle Earth-ish.
