Shotover River

Hey Ya'll!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was spent relaxing, editing pictures, movie watching, reading, and trying to get over this cold that is just stuck to me! I'm about at my limit with it and really want to get back to normal. Anywho when I am not plagued by annoying sicknesses I love to be outside.  So here's part of my adventure from outside of Queenstown.....

When driving around the area I would see this cool old looking bridge from the road and I really wanted to see it up close and personal. So while the weather was super nice I decided to take a little walk to it.  Once I got there I spent a couple hours reading, journaling, and taking in the magnificent landscape around me.  I did a bit of walking around then decided to see how far it would be to walk to Lake Hayes from where I was at. This was another spot I would drive past and want to get a closer view of.  Looking at the map on my phone I seemed to be "pretty close" to Lake Hayes so I decided to take a "stroll" to see it.  I was really excited because when the wind is still it has beautiful reflections in the water.  Well the little stroll turned into about a 20k walk, however it was one of the most beautiful scenic walks I have taken. I love unplanned adventures, especially in New Zealand :)

So for the first part I wanted to share the Old Lower Shotover Bridge and the views surrounding it.  One of the best parts is getting on the bridge and having amazing views all around you!

I can go anywhere with my backpack, camera and converse :)










Like I said great views all around! More to come! Hope ya'll enjoyed :)
