Queenstown

While undoubtedly spectacular (but nowhere we went wasn't), Queenstown felt only 1 step removed from somewhere like the Gold Coast.

Very heavily tourist oriented, lots of people and car parks are (supposedly) non existent, too many "chain" stores and restaurants and not enough local specialty options (except for a couple of unique and fabulous eateries we found).

We made a couple of forays into the township - at the start to pick up the suit I had hired, and at the end when I returned it and we flew out.

The time in between was mainly at the Millbrook Resort near Arrowtown where we were staying.

On the way out, we did have time to catch a lift up the Gondola for some lovely photos of the surrounds.
