My stay in Queenstown
The day began quite early - finished breakfast and left around 9am to the gondola up Bob`s Peak to catch a view of the city, as well as do the Luging. I liked this more than the C`ch gondola. Atop, I met a well travelled Scottish couple and got into a good discussion with them. I went luging, took lots of pics and generally took in the luvly atmo.
By the time I got down, it was around 11am. Had brunch at some express cafe, and the minivan arrived to take me horse riding in Glenorchy. The drive to Glenorchy itself was gorgeous - it`s around 10km or so from Q`twn. You drive along Lake Wakatipu. And the lake, clouds and mountains are a perfect combo. No wonder LOTR was shot extensively in this area.
Anyways, reached the area, went horse riding.
Again, felt very pleased overall. Moderately hectic day in Q`town.
The front desk are very helpful. Very! And there are brochures, they do trip booking, everything for you.
You can buy dinner here = there's veg option as well. Very good. Although it's served very early! There's a bar as well - Altitude and there's always something going on here - 80s night, karaoke night, etc.
The downside: I thought the hostel was very noisy, it's too big and things like laundry, etc are very hard to find.
But overall, great experience!
