Last Day in Queenstown

Today was our last full day in Queenstown, and we are all a bit sad to leave this amazing town. (Rock climbing was yesterday;)

We spent the morning at Onsen Hot Pools which were amazing. These well run and impeccably clean hot pools came highly recommended by the locals we've met and we were not disappointed. They are set high in the mountains with an incredible view of the valley and Shotover River below. Each room is private with it's own shower and dressing area, and the roof retracts so that you feel as if you are outside. It was a relaxing and restorative way to end our event filled weeks in Queenstown.

I had lunch and said goodbye to my new friend, Vicki. And Elle got to say goodbye to her new "friend"/babysitter Maddie, with a trip to the pools and slides.

For dinner we headed in to town for one last meal by the lake. To cap off one of the prettiest days we've had yet, the sunset tonight was spectacular. The sky turned the brightest pink/orange, so much so that the lake also turned pink!

All in all, a wonderful way to leave Queenstown. I think we've all decided we could live here!
