NZ - QUEENSTOWN

though the trip to Queenstown is somewhat hazy, we manage to see some sights….the town is like Whistler only bigger but surprisingly reasonable in price….we find a cool little spot for lunch and after checking into the hotel, we head up the gondola to a viewpoint over the village…Jess and I go for a louge ride then we head back down to town for some shopping - girls only - and dinner…ahhh, the famous Ferg burger…..OK - eating a Ferg burger is like suddenly we became little tiny people in a big people world - the burgers are delicious and ginormous all at the same time…..we are ready for bed…..

  1. Oh I know I'm way behind on my reading. I love hearing about your adventures and reading your well-written prose that accompanies you spectacular photos! I think you should make these blogs into a book and sell it. I'm so impressed and envious.
