Queenstown
Next, it was off to Queenstown, on the South Island. Queenstown is a small town on the southwest part of the island and is a hotspot for all sorts of outdoor activities and adventure sports. We decided to do some nature hiking and horseback riding. Our major hike was the Ben Lomond track, which we reached by first hiking up Bob's Peak. The Lamond track is 6.8 miles and it took us about 7 hours roundtrip. Whew! It was pretty tiring, but the day was beautiful and we had great views every step of the way.
