Day 12 + 13 + 14 - Wanaka and Queenstown

Kia Ora,

Yesterday we rocked up into a town called Wanaka after many little photos stops along the way. What a beautiful country. I am continually amazed. I assumed by now I would be sick of taking pictures of the scenery but not at all. Each place we stop at is just as beautiful as the last.
Wanaka was a nice little small town with a Lake beside it. It reminds me of a small version of Kelowna, with the mountains backdropping the lake and small town. We did not spend a lot of time in Wanaka, although we would have loved to.
After Wanaka we headed to Queenstown

On our way through to queenstown we stopped at the original Bungy Jumping site for some people to thrown themselves off this historic bridge. The site is called A J Hackett’s Bungy jumping centre or something along those lines. And this guy was the original creator of the Bungy dating back to the 80’s. We watched a number of people fall and rebound up and fall again, be caught on a boat below and run up for more.
After staying here for a while we then headed on to Queenstown via a small viewing platform overlooking a lake and the Remarkable’s mountains, Which are probably New Zealand’s best known skiing fields. Queensland is a very cute overused town full of bars and shops to empty a poor backpackers account. It’s also the main place in the country for adrenaline filled activities. You can do Any outdoor activity imaginable here.
This was our last time as a whole group so we made the most of it by hanging out making the most of the huge lake and blistering sun. We had a fantastic time in Queenstown and would definitely come back. With lots more money though.

I think that’s all, Thanks for reading,

David & Holly
