From Franz Josef we continued south to Queenstown where we could base ourselves for the next few days. We knew that rain was forecast for the next two days so we were hoping for some down time to check in at home and do a little preparation for our next jaunt into Asia. After a long drive we pulled into Queenstown late in the afternoon and found a place to stay. The town is on a lake surrounded by hills and in the winter is where many kiwis come for a ski holiday. Though ski season hasn't quite started here yet, it is an adorable town with plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops and backpackers. Due to the hig
h volume of tourists Queenstown also has all the necessities such as booking outfits, internet cafes, and super markets that we might need in order to catch up for the next two days.We've booked a ride and a sail into Milford Sound for later in the week and are planning to jump on a couple of horses and tour the beautiful surrounding area. We also have met some great locals here who are helping us out with a place to stay. More updates to come soon!
