Queenstown is the adventure capital of New Zealand, given the many options for bungee jumping, sky diving and other exciting activities that are available here. Many bars and restaurants are open until 4am, so it is no wonder that this is an attractive destination for the 20-something crowd. The workers and the visitors are predominantly international (so much so that the "walk on the left" rule doesn't seem to apply here). We are staying in a hostel (though with our own room and bathroom) so the average resident is at least 10 years younger than us!
Yesterday we inquired about renting mountain bikes for the adventure park nearby, but after a few words of caution from the rental staff and looking up some YouTube videos of the track, we decided to find another activity. We crossed Lake Wakatipu aboard the steamship TSS Earnslaw and took a guided tour of the countryside on electric bikes.
Ha ha, how does it feel around crowds of 20 somethings, "old"!
ReplyDeleteThe two of you all suited up, took a picture in front of the mountain bike and told the rental outfit that you were looking for an alternate activity? Were you charged?
Looks like lots of smiles
