I like Queenstown, it's not a city, it's just a town. But everything you need is already there. Lot's of activities you can resist~ Beautiful town lay beside a lake, and surround by mountains and mountains. I just love it. 3 days are just not enough but I gotta keep going... :\
Day 13 I arrived Dunedin, boring city, sorry~ Visited the Canterbury factory which now understand how they made my favorite chocolate~ ah yes~ the milk come from NZ itself, and not China~ XD After that.... nth to do in the city, not enough time for wildlife tour, so head back YHA hostel and watch Cast Away.

Day 14 we started our journey to Lake Tekapo. First stop at the world most steepest street, then stopped at a cafe for breakfast, passed thought 3 dam which have been used to generate power to the town, then arrived the beautiful Lake Tekapo. The Lake was just so beautiful! The water is so clear, and blue~! The photo you saw is the same as what I saw, yes it's just so blue~!
But then there was something happened which was the first thing made me feel unhappy along the trip so far. I planned to join a scenic flight which depart from Lake Tekapo and fly around the Mountain Cook and Glacier and return to the Lake. I arrived the office but the staff said the weather is not good. Well.. Yes I can see the weather is not good but it's not BAD! and there was a notice outside saying that there was flight today! They asked me if I can fly tomorrow morning but I said I gonna leave at 8am. From the conversation between the staff I can feel that they were not flying was because I am the only one wants to fly. Which I guess, flying with one customer is not cost-efficient. Anyway,that's my last chance to see the Mountain Cook and now it's gone... what a shame~ :\
Anyway, I joined a star gazing tour which depart at 9pm. Lake Tekapo is one of the best place for star gazing because the weather is always good as it's surrounded by mountains~! You can even see Venus and Jupiter without a telescope because they are so bright at night~ And I never saw so many stars in the sky~ But there was some cloud at night, and we're not able to see all of the sky. But the tour guide said they were going to refund 30% to us due to the cloudy weather. Well...for sure i don't really mind~ XD
