The Adventure Capital of New Zealand

---

I arrived in Queenstown yesterday afternoon after a short drive from Wanaka. We were lucky and were greeted with beautiful weather. The scenery in Queenstown is amazing. This town is surronded by a mountain range called The Remarkables and is on the shore of a crystal clear (but very cold) lake. Queenstown is know to be a bit touristy, which I could definately see. There is a lot to do and see in this area it is no wonder that the town is popular. Yesterday I took it easy. After much diliberation I decided to pass on bungy jumping. A bridge just outside of Queenstown is where bungy jumping began, which is one of the reasons Queenstown is considered the adventure capital of New Zealand. On a walk around the lake though I managed to fall in. I stepped on a rock in the lake that was covered in algae, not knowing that it was covered in algae, and the next thing I knew I was a bit more damp than before with a bruise on my lower leg. I will be here in Queenstown till Wednesday when I will head to Christchurch where I am hoping to stay to find work.
