Queenstown is similar to Wanaka, in that it is near a lake, but it is much bigger and touristy. There is a Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonald's, and a Hard Rock Cafe here. Our original plan was to do a half day hike in the area, but I think I caught a cold or something so I had to send Alan up on his own. The rest of the time in Queenstown was spent mostly walking around town.
I used to like the independence of travelling alone, but I think I enjoy travelling more when I have the right company. I felt more comfortable since travelling with Alan (and Mike when he was there). The best part is, that Alan cooks!!! And he cooks good on a very cheap budget.
