Oct 21 Sunday our next leg is a short drive to Queensland-69 miles 4.5 hrs. We can sleep in this morning. We pass a countryside that you would swear you were in the fraser Valley with sheep instead of cows. Queenstown is set on Lake Wakatepic with stunning views of the sawtooth peaks of the Remarkable Mt. range. (a ski area) We are at the Queenstown Lakeview Holiday Park. After hooking up George Phyllis and I walk into town with quaint little shops and restaurants. Queenstown is known as the adrenaline junkie capital- from bungy jumping, jet boat rides, sky diving, hand gliding, parasailing, balloon rides and flying by wire. Do we need more? The best we did was luge riding. It was so much fun we did it twice. We were scheduled for a breathtaking gondola ride up Bob’s peak. http://www.skyline.co.nz/ As we approach the building at the top, you can see the adventurous bungy jump off the platform named the Edge. After our luge ride we have an exceptional buffet dinner at the top with spectacular views of Queensland. Everything is walking distance from the park.
