The haiku trail takes us to New Zealand’s winter wonderland today – to the South Island city of Queenstown.

Skiers from around the world recognise the beauty and challenges of endulging in their sport in this pristine location. I don’t ski, but I do love to visit Queenstown – usually in the summer when a jet-boat ride along a nearby river gets the heart pumping during the day and then a dinner cruise on  Lake Wakitipu leaves one feeling serene.

We’ve stayed at some lovely B&B accommodations in Queenstown in close proximity to the thrumming night life. It’s a great place for young and old and always busy.
