The last moments in Wanaka were spent in the city centre (including a visit to the Ice Cream shop) prior to collecting the luggage from the Hotel.
We set off to Queenstown, having stopped at the Cardrona Hotel on the way. We were all impressed by this rather unique, historic and iconic hotel, whose initial construction dates back to 1863. We managed to walk around its grounds, as well as visit a small traditional shop pertaining to it. The fact that it still looked like it must have in the past fascinated me. I wish we had had the possibility to be accommodated in one of its 16 bedrooms, because I feel it could have been a unique experience.
We stopped briefly along the way to take some photos of the mountain range. The landscape colours were breathtaking and we were all looking forward to getting to Queenstown, which we reached by late afternoon. We left the luggage at the Blue Peaks lodge and appartments where we would be sharing the appartment with two of our group members before heading to town.
