Queenstown, New Zealand is filled with so much to do! One day we rode the Queenstown Gondola to the
top of the mountain for an incredible view. The gondola was like a sky lift as
we had our own car going up and coming down the mountain. There are a couple of shops and a restaurant
up top and a luge ride, but by far the best thing was the view. We could see for miles as it was a really
clear day.
Another fun thing we did was tour the little town of
Arrowtown. We toured the Chinese
goldmining settlement and went in several cute little shops. We actually went in the Arrowtown Museum; it
was well done and quite informative. We
opted for lunch at The Postmaster. It
was snowing, so the mulled wine really hit the spot, and the food was yummy.
After Arrowtown we went by the first bridge bungee jump in
New Zealand. The set up is great with a
gift shop and observation deck for those who would rather watch than jump (that
was us). We did see three jumpers. It was fun watching them dive off towards the
rushing water below. Their brains had to
be telling them – this is not right!
We also toured Gibbston Valley Winery. We took the wine cave tour (we were the only
two on the tour!), and got to taste four different wines including a barrel
taste. Our guide was really nice and
knowledgeable about the actual winery and different types of wine. Once the tour was over, we tasted three more
wines and bought a delectable bottle of pinot noir to take with us.
We absolutely loved our time in Queenstown!
