End of south island NZ
19th April Wanaka and Queenstown
Today we went for a hike up a deceptivly high mountain next to the Wanaka lake.
There were really great views of the lake getting better all the way up.
On the way to Queenstown we stopped at a town called arrowtown.
This was an ex-gold mining town.
The trees here a quite beutiful at the moment in their autum colours.
It is the first time that the brazilian has seen trees with autum colours.
Then we went for a short night out in queenstown.
20th April Queenstown
Queenstown is a quite lively tourism town, much livelier then anything on the west coast.
Again it is by a lake. We wandered the town for the morning. For the afternoon we drove out by the lake and had a nice walk
21st April Drive to Christchurch
Today I said goodbye to the brazilian and the quebec guys. Our trip together although frought at times allowed us to get to places that wouldn't have been possible on the bus without costing any more. Lukily a very nice Hungarian girl in the hostel wanted a lift to Christchurch and shared the petrol costs. She turned out to be a good travel buddy. We stopped at a historic bridge which had been turned into a buggey center. Too pricy and fast for me to jump. We also made a detour to mount Cook, the highest mountain in NZ but it was rainy and covered in fog so we continued.
22nd April Christchurch
Christchurch is another plesent NZ city, the second encountered. All the touristy sights can be visited in half a day so there was time to relax. It has a good vibe with a small city feel. It even has a fairly good nightlife.
23rd of April Fly to Sydney
Another flight now I'm in the land of Oz.
