Queenstown, NZ

Fresh off of a 3hr internet bender Sunday morning we took the streets of Queenstown for some sightseeing and window shopping. The town itself, as you can see, is situated on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and stands as one of the prettiest locales we have ever been. We decided that the best way to take in the sights was from the gondola look out above the city. A $21 round trip ride on the gondola we decided was a bit over priced, so off we went, hiking straight up the hill (not literally) for the next hour. The views we were rewarded with once at the summit were second to none. Enjoy!

Lucky for us we ran into a couple we had met in Abel Tasman and they gave us their return ticket, so the ride down was a smooth 4 minute ride. Our evening involved a couple Tui beers in the park, reading our books, watching the sunset behind the mountains. Another wonderful day.



Additional notes: Michelle's legs are sore no longer and her ears are completely healed. Thanks to everyone who wished her well :)
