Ode to Queenstown

It feels as though you are living in a post card every turn uncovers more remarkable natural beauty. The vast lakes and rugged mountains make the perfect back drop for the trees alluring strip tease, which throws explosions of autumnal colours throughout their show.

The air is fresh and crisp, and if you let it catch you in the shade is not afraid to nip at your fingers and toes. The smell of wood burners wonders through the streets and draws you to their warmth.

Amongst the people there is gentle buzz of excitement about the blanket of snow that has laid it's self over the mountains, and the snow fueled adventures that are yet to come. Regularly you meet an adrenaline junky dying for his next hit. Deep white water diving in 8 degree waters. no thanks you.

Laura's top 5 ways to stay warm in Queenstown (when you have no money)...
1)Stay in bed.
2)Put all the clothes that you own on.
3)Dance/skip everywhere you go.
4)Get as many people as possible in one room.
5)Go to the pub and enjoy their heating.

Things you have to eat when in Queenstown....
*The Ferg burger, (try and eat the big Al in under 5 mins, we like them so much we are trying to work our way through the whole menu before we leave)
*Winnies Pizza esp montonara, such a cool place the roof opens so you can see the stars!!
*Montys wedges...oh or their hotpot. yum!
*Hot chocolate at Patagonia.
*A steak or ribs at Flame.
this is making me hungry!!
