South Island - Queenstown
Queenstown
Night Life
It was a long, but beautiful trip to
Queenstown through the Alps and along two very large lakes, Lake Hawea and Lake
Wanaka, then on to Queenstown
which is
situated at the end of Lake Wakatipu. Our intent was to stay a few days at
Queenstown to recover, have a good time and use it as a jumping off point to
Milford Sound. Indications were that it was a fun town with lots of good
food, pubs and entertainment. We weren't disappointed.

One approaches
Queenstown from a mountain top and follows a steep decline into a valley.
We stayed at the Meridian Hotel overlooking
Lake Wakatipu.
A storm moved
in and we laid back for a day. The weather had been great; time to do some laundry,

Lone Star Bar (Best
Steak I ever had!)

After 2 days rest we were off to Milford Sound, a long drive
around Lake Te Anau, the town of Te Anau and then through the alps of the
Fjordland National Park. Had a reservation the next day
to sail on a motor sailor and stay overnight on the Sound. Top
