Queenstown Skyline Gondola

Last week we were back in Queenstown again for my daughter's regional figure skating competition.  We had some free time so we decided to take the cable car ride up to take a bird's eye view of Queenstown and the surrounding area.

It was an awesome ride and the view was breathtaking!  There was also a small platform where people could bungy jump and a cliff where people can jump off and parachute down and my daughter's favourite was the luge rides.  

I hope you enjoy the photos......

I like visiting Queenstown despite the nerve racking cliffside windy road at quite a few places. Guess one has to go through that whenever towns are located in mountainous regions. It being next to a lake and with surrounding mountains, an American from Colorado told me once that it reminded him of home but on the more quieter and peaceful side apart from the skiing season.....
