Mount Cook to Queenstown 280 km 3hrs 40mins
Saying goodbye to Mount Cook and heading Queenstown not so early in the morning. Still, bitterly cold and everything is frosted over. My type of weather :)
Twizel is small town of 1000 people, founded in 1968 to service a
hydro scheme. When the project completed, the town refused to
die and transformed into a tourist centre
I’m beginning to get tired of snowy mountains, actually. But kita layan je.
Say Hello to me :)
Coffee stop
Arrived Cromwell, we spot a fruit shop and stop for a while. Then we check in at Shotover Lodge before making our way to Skyline for Gondola ride.
I was contemplating on bungy jumping. But when i saw the platform from inside the gondola, i chicken out. Hahaha. Terus cancelled. My heart not brave enough.
I think Langkawi cable car was scarier than this.
Getting ready for Luge Ride
@ the finish line. oh boy i was too careful :D
Done with gondola, we walk around. They say Queenstown is the capital of adventure sport. I won't argue. The streets are full of choice for adventure, for a fee of course.
Had dinner at seafood restaurant. Serving was huge, even two of us can't finished it. Make our way back to our lodge for a well earned rest.
