Queenstown, New Zealand


We arrived in Queenstown and walked around the very small city. It reminds us a lot of Lake Tahoe with towering mountains surrounding a picturesque lake, along with high-end shops and restaurants and an overall relaxed atmosphere. Queenstown is the self-proclaimed the “Global Adventure Capital” where we found many adrenaline junkies sky-diving, bunging jumping, canyoning and white water rafting. We somehow managed to abstain all of the extreme sports J. We spent a lot of time window-shopping, walking around the Queenstown Gardens, and hiking along the lake on the Frankton Walkway.


For the first time on our trip, we had free wifi in Queenstown. We have noticed that the New Zealanders do not use wifi much and it is expensive and hard to find. Free wifi was a welcomed change and allowed us to catch up on email and NFL scores!
