Update 09.02.
After 12 hours on the bus and ferry, we were pretty tired and slept in comfortably.
For breakfast, we had really delicious pancakes. I didn't expect them to taste like home, as we had to make the batter in a pot instead of a bowl and use a ladle instead of a whisk, without a scale.
After our stroll through the beautiful town of Queenstown, we took the gondola up higher and enjoyed the view of a part of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains.
On our way to the supermarket, we were approached by a travel agent who asked us if we had already booked our trips in Australia. He was quite shocked that we didn't have a detailed plan yet, as we are traveling during the peak season and thus have little chance of spontaneously getting to the islands. So we spent three hours planning the 8 weeks on the East Coast with him :)
To celebrate the day, we went to see a live band and had a beer 🍻 for our Australia trip.
