New Zealand Part 4 - Queenstown

Queenstown

Queenstown is an incredible town. Situated on Lake Wakatipu it is one of the most picturesque cities on earth from any angle. And I saw it from most angles; down low by the lake, up high from a mountain, from a helicopter, from the car on the drive out to Glenorchy. Its famous for its adrenalin based activities - for me the rush came from just being there (yes I'm too old to jump off things anymore!)
