Well, anyway:
We have spent four days in Queenstown, but if you like crazy sports and adrenaline rushes, and have some money, you could probably spend a month there. You can do sooooo many things...
We both wanted to do paragliding, so we did. And lucky from us, that night the first snows of the season felt, transforming the landscape into something in between autumn and winter. The pictures are on e again in the other camera, so we'll show them later. We have to save some stories and pictures to show you when we come back...
It was really cool, you could fell yourself a little bit like an eagle. Flying with no engines, completely noiseless is an indescribable feeling. Pity that it lasts not so long, in about 10 minutes we did the 700 m elevation difference. 100 % recommended!
Another day we took a short walk up to where the gondola brings you. The views over the town are spectacular, Queenstown is enclosed in a really nice location. On the way up, we saw some crazy mountain bikers racing downhill, and later taking the gondola up again with the bike!
There is no holidays with an old van in which I do not have to 'basteln/cacharrear' a little bit. Using the fact that we were in 'town' and not in the pampa, I changed a couple of minor things to our Kea Kauri. We want to keep it fit, since we will sell it at the beginning of June.
We stayed in a Backpackers hostel with nice views of the lake. The last day we rented also a couple of bikes for half a day and rode around the lake, it remembered us of some Swiss lakes. It was very windy, too much for my throat...
A propo lake, lakes are numerous in New Zealand, and normally also massive. Wait for our next post about the world famous Milford track, there are plenty of waterfalls and a 35 km lake.
Regards,
JM
