So we flew into Queenstown and waited for our lift. This was my first time in QT and i was going to Wanaka for only my second time. Our trip took us through quaint Arrowtown which looks pretty sweet in the Autumn.



After Arrowtown and a quick excursion on the shotover jet...



... NZ's highest road came into view, Crown Range Rd, with no less than 7 switchbacks in the first few kms. This road used to be gravel and they wouldn't insure anyone on it with a rental car.



The views on this road are simply amazing and really do have to be experienced first hand.









It wasn't too long before we were above the snowline
