Queenstown

After a great time in Wanaka, we headed south to Queenstown - the adrenaline capital of the world! Unfortunately, our activities budget was running low so we decided to enjoy some of the other things on offer in the town i.e. beer and burgers!

We spent the first day exploring the town to see what was on offer, then we headed back to the campsite to shower and have a few Tui's. In the evening we went back out into town for dinner (a real treat!) and indulged ourselves at the famous 'Fergburger' restaurant (thanks Ellie and Katherine for the tip!) They were the biggest and best burgers we have ever had. Joe's was called the 'Big Al' and had everything you could imagine, and everything you couldn't imagine, between two pieces of bread! Afterwards we headed to a couple of popular night spots for some locally brewed beer.

The next day we had planned a walk near Glenorchy, but due to hangovers and poor weather we decided a nice drive would suit us better! We drove along the extremely scenic road to Glenorchy and back with a spot of lunch halfway.

We left Queenstown the day after having had a good time but realising that without money to burn on activities and nightlife, the town offers little else; we were looking forward to Fiordland and some good mountain walks...
