moonlight trail, NZ
High up on the moonlight track outside of Queenstown, enjoyin the cool wind after hours of hiking. (ah sorry-once again this post is backdated)
After completing the Otago Rail Trail, I took a bus from the pretty little town of Clyde, NZ to Queenstown, the 'fun' capitol of NZ, and one of the most beautifull locations for a city anywhere. Ive been there several times, always staying at the lakefront YHA hostel. As always I love Q-town, touristy-yes, but such a pretty setting and lots to do. Only there for a few days before heading to earthquake devastated Christchurch-in my next blog. Queenstown has been featured in many, many blogs so my pics are of the surrounding countryside and amazing views just outside the city-rather than the town itself. Several awesome day walks such as the Moonlight Track, where I walked 9 hours up in the mountains and never saw another soul. Easy access by bus or hitching to these trails-just ask in the Dept of Conservation office, they have excellent staff and maps.Even Better, unlike so many other things in Q-town, hiking is free! On to Christchurch......
