OK, it was really just a big hill, but a fun accomplishment none the less. More on that later! So Monday afternoon we explored downtown Queenstown (just 50 feet from our place) and while walking around Swiss spotted an Asian Chevron station, so we walked over to get the picture…
Ta daaaahhhh! Conveniently across the street was a grocery store so we grabbed a few things for the week and went on our way. Monday night was an early night…after being up for almost 48 hours it was time for bed!
Tuesday was a fresh (well rested!) day to explore town. We decided to avoid the “expensive” Gondola ride up (and take the healthy route also!) and hike the 450 metres up the mountain (holy crap that quite a vertical hike, but the views were spectacular!)
Once up at the top we took a chairlift even further up and rode the luge down a few times! :) So much fun…
We made some dinner and warmed up a bit then headed out to “The World Bar” to try out their “Teapots” for Happy Hour (or as Swiss calls them, “Tea Kettles”) but lets just say that Coca Cola is WAYYYY too sweet down here. Oh, and those silly little glasses they give you are too much work, so we switched to straws.
Check Flickr for some more pics.
