We were so excited to be back in Queenstown after the amazing time we had there with Jochen and Susanne in the summer. We started our day just like the last time with a few luge rides down the mountain. This time it was much colder so the wind was really cold on our faces. We were definitely happy to be bundled up!
Next stop was lunch at Fergburger where we feasted on the famous Queenstown burgers and fries. When our bellies were stuffed, we went for a drive to explore the area around Queenstown. We drove to, Coronet Peak, one of the ski fields in the area, to see what the view was like from the top. It exceeded our expectations! There wasn’t a ton of snow but the views were spectacular. Everything was so peaceful looking. Once we returned to the bottom we took a walk to explore Arrowtown, an old gold mining town. We came across a Chinese village that was built by Chinese miners in 1868.
By the end of our walk the sun was going down, so it was time to head back to Queenstown. We took the scenic route (one of many!) and came across some interesting animals along the way.
For dinner we enjoyed Sushi and Sake (Erin’s first taste) and then enjoyed dessert by the hotel fireplace. It was a great way to celebrate the last night of yet another great Ciaccia vacation! And of course, we sipped the champagne left by Petrina and Simon :)
