"He's creating some steps," explains Duncan. Close up, I find a neatly carved staircase, which I totter up on half crampons to survey this frozen blue sea. The following morning I join a small group for a trek to the Fox Glacier. In the distance, I can see one of Duncan's colleagues wheeling a pick-axe into the glacier. Our guide, Duncan, leads us across a mile of boulder-strewn moraine to the ethereal mass of millennia-old ice that appears to spill out of the lap of the mountain yet is, in fact, retreating into the range. Or take a stroll around Arrowtown and discover for yourself: there are several good little dining places to be had here. For more casual out-of-town fare, try Joes Garage in Arrowtown (yes, theres one there too), or the stylish Hole in One Caf & Bar at Millbrook Resort. A tad further afield, but worth the time are Saffron, The Stables, Mantra (Indian) and The Postmasters House in Arrowtown, Birches at exclusive Nugget Point and some very attractive winery restaurants, including Amisfield, Gibbston Valley and Carrick (in Bannockburn, approximately 40 minutes). Undertake the Time Walk on queenstown zealand Hill (about 2-3 hrs) or explore one of the two major ski resorts.

You should try the Ledge, and enjoy amazing views as you plunge through space. Been there, done that? Bungee started out here, so Queenstown's Shotover Bridge will be the best spot for you to take that 1st jump of faith. And there is certainly plenty more to push you, for example white water tubing, jet boating, extraordinary eco-adventures, parapenting, canyoning, river boarding (you have to see this), river-surfing, hang gliding, the Nevis Arc, sky-diving, luge, canyon-swinging - And that is just a flavor of the mad things you can experience in Queenstown! And dont forget to throw in a bottle of the regions well-known Pinot Noir. Why not load up a picnic and head away for lunch in those golden hills? Couple of my fave spots to go shopping are the Ardmore St Food Co and the Mediterranean Market. Pack a picnic and head for the hills: There are a number of wonderful delicatessens in Queenstown all retailing lovely fresh artisan foods, like local fruits and veges, hand-made cheese, and freshly caught salmon (smoked or straight up). |
