A Supposedly Relaxing Day on the Way to Queenstown and Te Anau

We start the day slowly in Twizel with a light breakfast before getting back on the road. The plan is simple. Make our way to Queenstown, spend the day there, then continue south to Te Anau. Queenstown is all energy. We head straight up the gondola and jump into the luge with the town stretched out beneath us. Three full rounds, fast corners, a few laughs, and that constant backdrop of mountains and lake that never really gets old. Easily one of the most fun parts of the day. 🛷 Lunch is at Ferg Burger, then it’s back in the car for the drive down to Te Anau. The pace slows again. Benjamin booked our Airbnb and it turned out to be incredibly spacious. After our usual group ritual of choosing rooms, we settle in, cook tomorrow’s lunch, and wind down early. Tomorrow is Milford Sound, so this day feels like a transition. Part relaxing, part energetic. A day that moves quickly, but still leaves room to breathe. Hope you enjoy this episode. See you in the next one. 👋 ⸻⸻⸻ 00:00 Intro 0:23 Twizel 2:17 Queenstown Gondola/Luge 7:41 Ferg Burger 8:42 Te Anau 10:33 Room Selection Game 12:11 Getting ready for tomorrow ⸻⸻⸻ #newzealand #travel #vlog #뉴질랜드 #queenstown #activity #teanau #퀸스타운 #여행 ⸻⸻⸻ 🎵 Music from Epidemic Sound https://share.epidemicsound.com/u3gith ⸻⸻⸻ 🌐 Find me at Instagram -   / hotherside   Threads - https://www.threads.net/@hotherside 📷 Gear Video - iPhone 16 Pro, Sony a7cii, DJI Osmo Pocket 3, DJI Action 5 Photos - iPhone 16 Pro, Sony a7cii, Sony RX100VII, Leica Q3
