As expected from a high level destination there are a lot to see and do in Queenstown. A nice clue about Queenstown is that Bungy Jumping was invented there by AJ Hackett.

The only factor that is not 5 star is the repayment of the $3_000 bond. It is over 48 hours since the car was returned and I’m still waiting for the reversal on my credit card.
