We flew from a cloudy Christchurch today to Queenstown. The flight was good though - over Mount Cook and the glacier lakes - really good to look down at!
Flying into Queenstown was one of the best flights we did - it was such a pretty setting for the airport in the middle of the Remarkables.
It was great to drive in Queenstown such a lovely setting along the lake side. The hostel (Discovery Lodge) was fine decent room - not the quietest hoste but decent location to everywhere.
We went for a wander down to the lakeside - such an amazing view of Mountains and lakes.
It was pizza for dinner and a few drinks before bed.

17th Jan
Had breakfast at Naff Cafe around the corner from the hoste - really good strawberrry milkshake l may add! We then booked our Milford Sound trip for Thursday and then booked a jetboat and funyaks trip on Dart River in Glenorchy for Friday.
We went up on the Gondola Ride
