It was awesome :)
We left Wanaka pretty early but stopped a few places along the way. We went to PuzzlingWorld which had a massive maze then rooms with different illusions in. It was pretty fun. Then we stopped at a fruit stall which was pretty cool, they had loads! Next was AJ Hackett Bungy which was the first commercialised Bungy jump. Our bus driver was going to do one but they were too busy. Finally, we made it to queenstown. We had a group photo at the waterfront and then went and checked in. In the afternoon we went for a walk around the town. It is beautiful. It's got the mountains and its got the lake. It was the end of their Winter Festival so we got to see a little bit of that. They had food stalls and live bands. It was good. In the evening we had "the last supper" where everyone on the bus goes for food and a couple of drinks together.
On Monday, we went skiing! We got the bus early to Cardrona Parks and spent the day on the slopes. It was so much fun! It took us a little bit to get into the swing of things but then we had a great day. It was really windy so on the ski lifts we were freezing but apart from that everything was class! The views were amazing! From the top of the mountain we could see Lake Wanaka from one side and Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown on the other! We got back to the hostel and were shattered. But we managed to have one of the infamous Ferg Burgers! It was yum.
On Tuesday, we had a walk around in the morning. We planned to get the cable cars up the top of the mountain but the weather was rubbish so there wasn't much point. Instead we went for a walk around the shops :)
