A group of us went to Queenstown, New Zealand a few weeks ago. We were fortunate enough to experience the coldest ice snap Queenstown has ever experienced in 40 years. Of course, just getting into Queenstown ended up being a 30 hours trip from Melbourne to Queenstown.
We had a flight to Christchurch and a 6 hr wait til the flight to Queenstown; Got on the flight to Queenstown and as we are able to land, the pilot turns around and heads back to Christchurch. We take the last flight to Invercargill and take an apparent 3 hr bus ride to Queenstown (plus a few missing luggages & snow boarding gear.) We ended up being stuck on a 9 hrs trip with no heating or food on the bus but we made it at midnight!!!
And this is what we woke up the next day to.
Our personal snow globe.
The rest of the week was blue sunny skies and amazing snow.
We even did the Lord of the Rings tour too on our last day as the snow had mostly melted.
