The Earnslaw.. by maggiemae

The Earnslaw..

"The TSS Earnslaw is a 1912 Edwardian twin screw steamer based at Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. It is one of the oldest tourist attractions in Central Otago, and the only remaining commercial passenger-carrying coal-fired steamship in the southern hemisphere."
It goes off on its journey up the lake for a dinner cruise at 6pm.
Thankful for:
A comfy place to stay - both of us are a bit under the weather - sneezes and coughing, headaches for me. No way is it covid!
I hope you are getting better soon.

I remember going on this old beauty when I was in NZ many years ago. We had a lovely dinner at a farm and saw sheep being sheered. Wonderful memory!!

@pamknowler That place was called Walter Peak High Station and it is still going. The tourists love it - touching a sheep, etc. Now the NZers' know about sheep but still love to do the trip!

@Dawn Why do they register ships as a 'she'!

A terrific old ship. Get well.

I’m so sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well. A shot of whiskey, a tablespoon of honey, a teaspoon of lemon. Heated in the microwave, toss it back, go to bed with four or five blankets covering you and you will feel like new in the morning I promise.

You do have a lovely view and some wonderful autumn colors to look at end it shows up so well in your photo.

Hope you feel better soon.

I hope that it isn't COVID. That's how ours started. Low grade fever, coughing congestion.

It's nice to see life is going on and people are still enjoying life.

Lovely. I would love an evening cruise with dinner! Hope you feel better soon.

Katy’s recipe sounds like my dad’s hot toddy! It can work wonders. I just got over the regular flu so I can commiserate. Get better soon.

Wonderful capture...love the sky's color

Love the flashes of strong colours here...the tip of that mountain is all orange! Yes a hot toddy for you both will do the trick! I hope to go the Queenstown one day!

@skipt07 Covid isn't around in NZ, Skip. Only in Managed Isolation Quarantine with lots of Indians coming in from India and surrounds where the virus is rife!

@happypat Its the 6pm look, Pat when the sun just touches the tips of the mountains. Very beautiful!

@grammyn Sounds like a good panacea, Katy. I shall have to go and buy some lemons, some honey. He's got something that has irish moss in it and eucalyptus, seaweed, menthol, liquorice and cedar wood! Imagine that!
April 10th, 2021  
Pretty scene and colours!

@maggiemae Let me know how it turns out if you try it!
April 11th, 2021  
Looks like it would be a great trip – glad it is not covid
April 11th, 2021  
@grammyn It's actually a cocktail, Katy - called a 'Whisky Sour'! Not the stuff that J is inhaling though!
April 11th, 2021  
@maggiemae I have never heard of serving it hot! J's concoction sounds very aromatic!
April 11th, 2021  
Really interesting!
