Queenstown

We left home at the crack of dawn, well, about 6 am.. but managed to hit all of the traffic in Auckland so that we were running to catch the bag drop before it closed.

We touched down in queenstown just after lunchtime and split into our two groups to find the backpackers we were staying in. The short tramp group (that I'm in) caught the bus that was waiting right outside the terminal ready to go as we left, and the long tramp group had to pick up a car and battle queenstown traffic to get there. We won if it was a race.

We had a late lunch and then took a stroll by the lake. The sun peeked out for a bit which was lovely but the rain was back by the time we made it back to the hostel.

I ended up having a bit of a nap and woke up groggy just in time to sort my breakfast and then go to dinner.

Early night to tonight, we have some walking to do tomorrow!Read more
