Queenstown is hands-down one of the most picturesque towns I’ve been to. Despite being a largely tourist-centric town, it’s natural beauty more than makes it a worthy stop on your New Zealand adventure.
Facing the town, across the lake, is a range of mountains known as The Remarkables. Truly, they are a remarkable sight even without their snow caps on when I visited in summer.
The town itself is small around to explore solely on foot (pun intended!), which was good for us cos none of us could drive. It is well-known also for adventure sports – sky-diving, bungy jumping, parasailing, etc. But since we’re not really the adrenaline junkie type, we hopped onto the historic steamship, TSS Earnslaw for a ride to nearby farm, Walter Peak.

I almost cannot believe I actually captured the photo above. Queenstown is really the kind of place where random, half-baked shots can look amazing because God’s creation does all the work for you.
