Queenstown (New Zealand), Jan 8 (IANS): The land, rivers, mountains and sky -- Queenstown serves up adventure pursuits aplenty, everywhere. Be there, and just go for it.
Whether it's sailing, hiking, white water rafting, jet boating, bungy jumping, skydiving, paragliding, canyon swinging, skiing, mountain biking... or whatever more to get your adrenaline pumping, this resort town, nestled in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, is a perfect stage for it all.
Setting sight on the hustle-bustle of activities happened as soon as I drew the curtains apart in my hotel room, which gave me walking access to the front of the glistening Lake Wakatipu. It was visibly dotted with sails, kayaks and boats. The backdrop was the Remarkables mountain range, and it was sunset.
"Oh my god, if only I could settle here!"
