    A Brief Stop In Queenstown, New Zealand

    Adventure number two in New Zealand was exploring the party and extreme sports capital of New Zealand’s South Island, Queenstown.

    Waking up at Haka Lodge in Christchurch, Cinthia and I made a valiant effort to make it to our bus down south. Unfortunately we missed it by a hair, and had to try again the next day. Traveling down to Queenstown was nice enough, though.

    Nomads in Queenstown… despite being in the serene mountains, Queenstown is a party town, and I happend to check into the main party hostel, filled with british youth cut loose on their first “vacay”.

    Extreme sports is big in Queenstown, and I did a quick hike up to the top of the mountain from where the paragliders launch.
