Queenstown
ueenstown is very beautiful. It’s like Banff in Canada, but besides the mountains, there is also a huge lake next to it. I would like to have spent some time around this town.
My fondest memory of this place was taking the gondola up to see the views, and more importantly the great buffet they had up there.
Subsisting on camping food, and/or simple sandwiches while living from hostel to hostel, this was the one day that we could really let go, and eat. Also, the group ate at Chinese restaurants when time didn’t permit cooking. So for me, this was especially a treat because I can’t stand eating Chinese food when I’m not in Asia or back home.
Anyways, I won’t go into details about the food and my impressions of eating while travelling. I thought I’d just put a pic up of Queenstown.
~ on another note though, the most annoying thing about Queenstown is that it’s full of tourists. My opinion is stay in the parks, or just admire the views. Walking around town is quaint, but only for about an hour before the other tourists start annoying you.
