Queenstown



A beautiful city at the edge of a lake surrounded by mountains.  Famous for skiing, mountain biking, and any other adventure sports...sound familiar?  No wonder we feel so at home here!  The weather is crisp but sunny, being now into the southern hemisphere's fall.  Leaves have just started to change color and there is a dusting of snow on the mountains.  The lake is clear and cold but the strip of rocky shore-line beach is full of people soaking up the last of the summer sun, kind of like home.
So far we have been recovering from our long journey and trying to wrap our heads around the endless possibilities...backpacking (in Kiwi its called tramping), mountain biking, bungy jumping, sky diving, jet boats, river surfing, paragliding...all in our budget of course :)
