Queenstown

Today was our first day in Queenstown

Queenstown is a ski city similar to Aspen and Vail. It's a bit tourist-y but in a nice area. In some ways it looks a lot like Switzerland - including the prices. (4 dollars for a bread roll?) There are loads of crazy things to do here, like bungee jumping and sky diving, but they're all expensive. I'll be sticking to hiking and exploring. Today we had the afternoon off so I wandered around for a couple hours to explore. I've attached a few pictures below. 

In the morning we're training at a local rowing club. I'm excited to get on the water, its a beautiful lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
