Amazingly the picnic table was still there when we got up! We did notice, however, that the Italians had managed to snag a picnic table from elsewhere. After brekky we drove into Wanaka to get some petrol. On the way out we stopped at the Mount Iron Scenic Reserve for a walk. Mount Iron is a glacier-carved 240 metre rocky knoll. It was a steady climb to the top with stunning views of the town, lake and mountains unfolding on the way up. At the summit there was a stunning 360 degrees panoramic view. The path back down followed a different route making it a lovely loop walk. After this we hit the road out of Wanaka with a load of wanaka's up our ****! We headed south towards Queenstown. The weather was gorgeous and the road took us through some quite barren but very beautiful scenery climbing higher until we had the most incredible vistas of the mountains and the valley opening up before us. The road then wound it's way down to the valley floor via a series of the sharpest hair pin bends we have come across. We arrived in the centre of Queenstown with the sun beating down. Queenstown is in a stunning location on the edge of Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by the soaring heights of the Remarkables Mountains. We didn't like the town though very much. It was just far too crowded, the traffic was heavy, it was super commercialised, packed to the rafters with shops and seemed to be full of showy and pushy people. There were more camper vans parked up and driving round than we had seen anywhere on our travels. All the reviews we had read of the holiday parks were bad with campers packed in like sardines. It was really expensive to park and other than the Sky Gondola, which we decided to miss, there was absolutely no reason for us to stop here. This place really wasn't our sort of thing. We had a drive around the centre and down by the lake, took in the view, and got out of there. We decided to drive to a camp site in Kingston at the far end of Lake Wakatipu. The reviews for this place stated that it was cosy and quiet. It certainly was and a far cry from the rampant commercialism of Queenstown. The camp site was rustic and quirky and we settled down here for the rest of the day.
