Queenstown Skyline

Goodbye Milford, here we come Queenstown!

Back to Queenstown, the adventure-land! 


After four hours of driving from Milford Sound and the restless walks we have done, we have decided to get some adventure packed gastronomy for our tummies :p Bought the $66 Gondola + Buffet dinner package from YHA (member's discounted price of $10). Since we will be paying $26 to ride on the gondola, we just top up $40 for the dinner... Which sounds pretty good.. The legendary gondola ride up the Bob's Peak is one of the must in Queenstown, and we know why!

Gondola ride..
There are also many other activities to do here, like the Luge (like a toboggan ride), paragliding, sledge bungee jump, Ben Lomond walking track, and mountain biking down the hill! All too expensive and others too adrenalin pumping, so we would very much prefer the buffet and take in the beautiful views!


It is so amazing, having a buffet dinner with such spectacular views for the eyes!! Well, the buffet dinner is really yUMSS... With seafood like salmon, mussels, tiger prawns, hoki and carvery like roast lamb and pork and grill pork scotch fillet.. Though the salmon really tasted just average... Too bland.. But the prawns and grill pork is really nice.. More appealing is the array of dessert... Creamy tiramisu is sooooo good!


Best VIEW restaurant =)

After the 1 hr 45 min buffet time, we brought our bloated stomachs out on the viewing deck.... Good for digestion :p the view is once again superb, and we get to see the moon rise about the same time the sun sets! So cool.....
