Queenstown is a cute little town with blue sky and blue lake, surrounded by mountain. You can swim in the lake and sun bath on the shore....... You can go on a jet boat,  or on a steam boat. There are many shops and cafes around the lake, and enjoy walking around. or take the Gondola up the hill, and doing some paragliding too............  Queenstown is famous also in the winter, there are many ski fields.

Wanaka to Queenstown To go to Queenstown, I need to go this way.......because I don't like the other way. The other way is very curvy and top of the canyon. Giorgio drives this curvy and high road 100km/h......... I am speechless....... The sign says up to100km/h......  " CARDRONA HOTEL "   famous Hotel in Cardrona. I can relax finally when I see this kind of scenery......(flat)....hahaha
