Queenstown (South Island)

Arrived safe and sound, Queenstown is a lovely little town, we had a walk round on the first day and that was about it, bumped into a lad called Mike who we met in Mt Cook in our hostel and chatted most of the evening with him, before chucking a video on. The day after when for a walk around the lake and took in the views as the scenery is spectacular. We've looked into doing a skydive but know that it is cheaper in the north island so going to wait till we get there, just relaxed in the evening as we planned a long walk, the next day.
We planned on doing a 6-8hr lake walk which was about two hours from Queenstown, we set off and were nearly there, but the road crossed three small rivers, the first one wasn't that deep, but got to the second and it was moving fast and deep, so sacked it and drove to the Routeburn track, and did the second hut which took us about 41/2 hours there and back. Weather even turned out nice, which was a nice change. Some beautiful views with loads of little field mice running around! Off to a place called Wanaka next.
