Story

After visiting Wildwire Wanaka, we went back to Queenstown and stopped at the city park and walked around the gardens.

We made our way over to the little beachfront harbor and did some shopping in their tourist strip. We bought a magnet and a jacket and shirt for Savannah because her jacket zipper broke. We got an ice cream cone to share and then drove to the airport.
