Queenstown

After two days of hiking and sightseeing, and two late nights spent in the hostel having some of the best conversations with the most interesting people, I headed for Queenstown. I arrived at about 8pm and the city was already bustling with its night time activities; I met a group of Brits and went out with them for a few drinks, and then a few more, and then a few more (etc). Queenstown appeared to be one gigantic nonstop party. 

this was taken right before my first gelato of the day (i went back for seconds a few hours later after a delicious splurge meal at a japanese restaurant)

I took the Gondola up to the very top of Queenstown

Queenstown was great fun, but I was very ready to go by the time I left for Milford Sound.
