This one is easy! I just got back from Queenstown yesterday.
Going up the lift to go on the Luge! So much fun! Bonus lake view background.
Fergburger. A Bombay Chicken, to be precise. The stuff of legends. Eating it on the waterfront, throwing your crumbs to the ducks. Bliss.
The man. The legend.
A stunning view of Lake Wakatipu from up the Luge.
I must say, there's something about Queenstown that makes me feel so at ease. The lovely surroundings help, the legendary burger joint helps too. I've been there a few times in my short life and hopefully many more times. Heck, I would probably live there if I could afford it. One thing that strikes me is that there is no graffiti and tagging at all. Is it because this town takes more pride in it's appearance than, say, Christchurch? Or is it just because it's a smaller town and it's logistically easier to clean up soon after it happens? Probably a mix of both. I find you have to look past the touristy veneer - the town has character. I just wish they would ease up on those awful waterfront studio apartments. I'm not making too much sense here but it is what it it - I can't help but love this place! I just hope it doesn't sell it's character and soul to tourism and lame cheesy souvenir shops filled with kiwis and sheep.
