Queenstown in Winter

I am not sure which I like more... Queenstown in Summer



or Queenstown in Winter.



Queenstown this weekend was such a needed break for me. Aaron and a group of his friends were competing in the Peak 2 Peak race. Teams of five people race by ski, mountain bike, kayak, running and road bike from the top of the Remarkables Ski Area to Coronet Peak. Aaron's team did a great job - finishing 62 out of almost 200 teams/individuals.

BUT, while he and his friends were freezing in the snow, and sweating down (and up) the mountain(s) and across the lake, I was having a lovely lovely relaxation day. Oh, I started off by reading my book for about 2 hours.... then I got an hour massage at a place in town... then I went and had lunch at a french cafe with a beautiful glass of wine... then I walked around town and window shopped. My day was horribly stressful! After the race, some of the boys went duck shooting, but my nice boyfriend came back to the hotel and we got in the hot tub and drank a beer. Much much much needed weekend. I could have stayed forever...
