MY TRAVEL AGENT heads for Queenstown .....

Note:  MY TRAVEL AGENT is currently in New Zealand, checking out different locations in order to help bring YOU a dream vacation to this beautiful destination.  Here's Paula's latest report .....

The weather is just great! Flying over the South Island to Queenstown, you could see the entire Southern Alps. On arrival in town, once again we did a tour of the area since it was too early to check in. We did stops at Lake Haynes and Arrowtown. We stopped at Kawarau Bridge but had no takers in our group to jump (bungy) off it. Sorry AJ Hackett, no money from us. Next stop was the Shotover  River where almost everybody did the jetboat ride. With wind chill it was sooo cold. I cannot believe they have people who do this in the winter months. We had some time on our own to walk around and explore. Queenstown is quite the quaint lakeside town situated on Lake Wakatipu. This lake is second largest of the southern glacial lakes. Unfortunately the sun is setting early so it was already dark when we went up the gondola to Skyline Restaurant on the top of Bob’s Peak for dinner.
