embracing aotearoa

Queenstown

This was my second trip to Queenstown, it was the first time holidaying without parents for the both of us. Let me just say this, holidaying without your parents is certainly an experience and a very fun one at that! We had to settle our own accommodation, meals, itinerary, budget, transport, the list was endless but I guess it taught us how much we can take care of ourselves. The journey to Queenstown was a very long one and we swear by the end of trip, we became seasoned coach riders. Imagine 12 hours to queenstown and another 12 back to christchurch. Thank God for the scenery though. We passed by the southern alps, went to mt. cook villiage, Lake tekapo, Lake pukaki, cromwell, Geraldine, Ashvegas, Oamaru, Twizel....A wee bit tiring for us but it was well worth the trip. We went to the skyline by the gondolas, took the luge (invented by kiwi's just to put it out there and a hell lot better than the SG luge. The scenery was magnificent!) , met so many people from all over the world...Including the hot luge guys, brazillians, hot blonde singer and the cute fergburger dude. Guys galore! Haha. Will show you more about what we did in the next post!

Not forgetting our awesum accomodoation. I scoured the internet and I came across Mecure Resorts, Queenstown. The hotel was along Lake Wakatipu and we even got Lake side views and Alipine mountain views! Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is heading to Queenstown. Great bar staff as well! Haha.
