New Zealand trip - part 1

PART 1
We flew from Sydney to Queenstown, on the South Island of New Zealand, where we stayed for 4 days. Queenstown calls itself the "adventure capital of the world" because of all the adventurous activities that are being offered, by everyone, everywhere. The city is surrounded by impressive mountains (e.g. the "Remarkables") and situated at the beautiful S-shaped lake Wakatipu.
We especially loved the deer park, the day trip to Glenorchy and Paradise, the walks and the great lake views from our apartment. The city itself is overly commercials and quite small - Queenstown's reputation is the result of a successful marketing effort focused on benji, snow fields and water activities. It proved a good starting point for our 2 week holiday.
