Flying Through Queenstown – ZipTrek Ecotours Experience
Blog: Landlopers - 6 October 2011

Blog: Midwife Moira's Travel Blog. With Emirates Cabin Crew on the side. - 21 September 2011
Sunday 11th September:The plan was to have an early start to Queenstown, but due to the previous nights revelry this did not happen.To clear out any cobwebs left by the night before we walked up Baldwin Street. Everything in New Zealand seems to have a tag line attached and Baldwin Street is no exception, this is ‘The Steepest Street in the World’.
