Days 59-60 | Queenstown (zero days)
13 December 2022 | 23°C | 0km
After a demanding week of hiking, I finally had a rest day in busy Queenstown. The break was a perfect mix of relaxation and small adventures.
My main mission: replace my lost trekking pole. After having lost one to the waves a week ago in Colac Bay, it was time to get a new pair. After that, I enjoyed a yummy breakfast of fresh eggs and yogurt, a delicous change from my usual trail food.
We spent the midday hours cruising around town by bike. It was exhilarating to just roll down the hills and take in the sights of Queenstown. After the ride, I treated myself to a much-needed long sleep, catching up on rest that I desperately needed.
The evening was all about enjoying good food. I finally got to cook a real dinner in a real kitchen, a wonderful change from pouring water on dehydrated hiker meals.
And to top it all off: Heaps of ice cream!
