Stuart has had a great birthday down here in Queenstown. At first it was a shock being in such a busy place again after living out in the mountains for so long. It took a while to adjust to the amount of people and shops lol
We became proper tourists while visiting here and indulged in some birthday treats.
1. Ice cream by the lake, a must for any birthday boy.
2. A visit to the Minus 5 Degrees Ice Bar. We were lucky enough that it was only the two of us booked in for that hour so we had the place to ourselves. Our barman Jahfire treated us to some birthday cocktails and shots :-) We lasted the full hour in the -9oC room which was apparently quite rare. Most people get too cold and ask to leave early, but Jahfire just thought we should be hardened to it since we are Scottish!
3. A trip on the Skyline Gondola to catch the view from the top.
4. And then while up there, a race back down on the Luge carts! Stuart won of course, well it is his birthday lol
5. And to top it all off, a Queenstown must. We treated ourselves to a famous Fergburger. These things are massive and are made from scratch within the establishment, even the bread buns. Mine had pork belly complete with crackling, sweet apricot chutney, aioli and lettuce. If that wasn't enough we then topped them with onion rings. They tasted beautiful but I failed the mission to polish it off, just too much, Stuart managed it though!
