Don’t be a chicken, be a Kiwi!!



The drive from Wanaka to Queenstown goes through a dramatic scenery of mountains, lakes and rivers. Travelling in New Zealand is not only about the destination but the journey! Every km is a gift for the eyes and every stop makes it count.







Halfway, we stopped at Arrowtown, a cute town with pretty tree-lined avenues, wooden buildings and great bakeries.




 
Queenstown, placed by the lake Wakatipu is a small town but has the energy of a city. It’s well described as the adrenaline-rush capital of NZ.  Whatever is your adventure prescription you will find it there. We chose to let go and lose control by jumping from the 43m Kawarau bridge. It was really a thrilling but as it’s said here…don’t be a chicken, be a Kiwi!!












 
Next stop was Fiorland. It’s the biggest national park in NZ and the rawest wilderness area.  Mountains and forests sliced by numerous fiords that makes you say “oh, wow” every time you round a corner. We jumped on a cruise along the fingers inland from the Tasman Sea. Still dark waters, rocky cliffs, high waterfalls, fur seals and dolphins were the scenery.
