Queenstown
13 de marzo de 2023, Nueva Zelanda
We drove around the huge Lake Wakatipu to our last destination in New Zealand, Queenstown. Known for its extreme sports and outdoor activities it's the place to be if you want to Paraglide, bungee jump, sky dive, jet ski, parsail and a lot lot more. We are pretty knackered at this point having been on the road for a few months now so opted to just take in the scenary, enjoy some good food and few beers.
The town is quite touristy with a well defined pedestrian centre full of backpacker hostels and trendy coffee shops. We went a bit more upmarket and stayed in a hotel and we're definitely enjoying the fact that we are not staying in a dorm.
We had a wander around the gardens and took the cable car up the hill to take in the vista, but we really didn't do much at all in Queenstown, enjoyed the sun and the nice bars and restaurants that are in town and reflected on our New Zealand trip.
We very much enjoyed as a whole our time in New Zealand. It was really easy to travel everywhere, no hassle and we always found good food and the friendliest locals. Of course, as we're spoiled with a lot of travelling this past year we also compared it with some of our past experiences. We did miss the enjoyment of visiting temples of ancient civilisations and we could also have done with maybe some more exotic animals. Yes, we are very demanding, flightless birds, dolphins and fur seals were not enough! What we liked though is how alone we could find ourselves in some beautiful spot of nature. We will never forget our helicopter ride above glaciers, the crazy rock formations in Coromandel, enjoying a natural hot springs on the beach and pretending to be Hobbit for a day! New Zealand definitely has a lot of gems that ought to be seen and experienced! We are very sad to be leaving New Zealand, given how far away it is from home it's unlikely that we'll be back anytime soon, but never say never😁Leer más
