Getting a bird’s eye view from a plane reminds you what a largely unspoiled country New Zealand is. Â Miles and miles of empty landscape – the sheer scale of it is mesmerising. Â But this was nothing compared to hugging the mountain to tip into Queenstown, New Zealand’s adrenaline city. Â The hill sides were splashes of deep red and yellow – a burst of autumn colour. Â Then when you land you realise just how big this landscape is. Â Big skies, big mountains and crystal clean air that takes your breath away.
It’s been a long while since we last ventured to Central Otago. Â It was the place that stole our heart and we vowed to move to here. No doubt Queenstown itself is a place to enjoy but it’s the surrounding places I’m most looking forward to revisiting. First though – I need to drink in this view a bit more.
