Queenstown

2015-09-06

So we finally were able to go on our 2nd ski holiday now that Rachael got the bug in Japan, this time to New Zealand.

We flew into Queenstown for a night, and then mum and dad met us later in Wanaka the next day. Rachael was impressed from the get go but the first day was a bit of a miserable rainy day and not as good as last time I was there. The sun came out on the 2nd day though before we headed off to Wanaka for the main reason of our trip, snow sports!

The Queenstown Gardens had a disc golf course, something I had never heard of before but sounds super fun. We also went to Ivan Clarke Gallery which was free and had lots of awesome paintings of cartoon dogs.

After skiing in Wanaka, we came back to Queenstown with Mum & Dad and went up the Gondola to do some luge. We wanted to do luge the last time I went but we didn't have time. It was pretty fun and there was an awesome backdrop. We got some videos as well which I will sort through later.

We saw a goat and it's 'kid' while up there and they also had some cool jelly bean art. I made sure to revisit the Fergburger and see if it lived up to the memory, and it was just as tasty as I remembered. Rachael got the Codfather but it wasn't as good as the classic Ferg.

We did a day tour to Milford Sound and then picked up a rental car to drive to Christchurch.
