We arrived in Queenstown in the early morning and could not check in to our hotels so we had a nice brunch and walked around the city. The city is easily the most scenic place I have ever been to in my entire life and reminds me very much of a Colorado ski resort town.
We did not have any school obligations to attend while we were in Queenstown so it was a complete weekend of sightseeing and leisure activities. We started off these activities by heading up the gondola to the top of the mountain overlooking the town. It provided us with an unbelievable view of the surrounding area and we were also able to ride some mountain louges at the top, which was a blast. On Saturday we started the day off by taking a jet boat ride up the Shotover River. It was probably the nicest river I have ever been on and the boat ride was a real thrill. That afternoon John Martini and I headed outside of town to ride dirt bikes. My dirt bike riding was ended fairly quickly because of a little spill but I was able to hop on a quad and enjoy an incredible ride through the mountains.
We spent Sunday lounging around the town and taking in the beautiful scenery one last time. I had a great time in Queenstown and hope I can make it back there in the near future!
Next up…..Sydney, Australia! Time to put another shrimp on the barbee : )
