Wanaka and Queenstown are both surrounded by beautiful mountains. In Wanaka I made a friend, Robyn, from Taiwan. We got coffee together in town and she showed me around a bit. In the afternoon I spent some time printing and completing my ballot for the election so I could get it in the mail. I didn’t much care for Queenstown, despite the beautiful setting. It felt really touristy. The whole town is covered in advertisements for adventure sports like sky diving, canyoning, and bungy jumping. I did enjoy watching the bungy jumping though! I also spent a few hours wandering around the town gardens.
