Queenstown for (octogenarian) Beginners: A Farewell to Travel.

Is Fergburger still a thing there...used to be a queue out the door for them....
You should sneak out at night and get one, too big for your mum probably.
Also a bar/restaurant called Winnies, the roof opens when the place gets too hot/crowded.
Popular in ski season anyway...

Fergburger is most definitely a thing and is absolutely on our to-do list! It's the one place in the world where I don't resent queueing. Having said that, you can now order online apparently.

I'll put Winnies on my list of possible places for me to escape to if it all becomes too much...!

Then after a while it was time for a coffee and dessert, which was also available from the buffet. As I sat down I reflected that this was perhaps a New Zealand version of a “Café Gourmand” @FlyingFiona ? Or maybe the New Zealanders would want to claim that they invented it in the first place?

Probably better than a Café Gourmand, you can pick which mini desserts you'd like whereas the French ones are usually smaller offerings of their dessert menu which almost invariably includes crème brûlée and tirimasu neither of which I like. (I do like how economical they are as an option in France). I like the look of your choices!
