White

Queenstown is pretty. The snow and the scenery are just amazing.
The supposedly five day trip became eight days due to the snowy weather, canceling our flight back to Auckland. But it was all worth it. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment when we're in Queenstown. Miss the white mountains.

Taken heaps of pictures and lots to talk about. From the luge rides and beautiful weather on the first day, to the snowy mountains in Coronet, the winds and snow fall in Cardrona, the descend from Cardrona, experiencing the blizzard, the night sky in Wanaka, the drive back through Kawarau, the thick snow in Frankton, the snowmen, the snow-woman, the body print on the snow, the hot pool that opens to the snowy mountains and the Shotover river, cycling around the gardens, kayaking along the Lake Wakatipu, and lots of pictures~

Stay warm~
