Queenstown

Picturesque Queenstown.

After sorting ourselves out a camping spot we have a wander about town for a shufty. It's beautiful here, straight away Em and I started to feel good vibes, certainly a potential spot for our first spot of casual employment. The following day, Lisa and Caroline arrive with a bus load of others; they've been travelling on the Kiwi Experience bus which tootles you around the whole country for a small fee. The crowd that they are travelling with all seem really nice and we all hit it off nicely.

Found them: Caroline and Lisa at the top of the gondola.

We also meet up with Lenny and Brian, a couple who we met on the Salt Flats of Bolivia. They are also travelling the country in a van, so the load of us together is like one big social stew. Drinking ensues.

Queenstown is the outdoor activity hub of the South Island, if not the whole of NZ, so there's tons of different things to be getting on with. Crazy golf being possibly the main attraction.
