By some kind of miracle we found a place to live in Queenstown that has got to be the best place we've ever lived in. It's nice and new and all that, and we've got a couple of good housemates Chris and Steph. And we have unheard of luxuries for backpackers like us such as a dishwasher, a reclining lounge chair and a free washing machine and dryer - no more searching for $2 coins! It's just great not having to live in a backpackers for once!
But by far the best thing is the view - it is really spectacular. We can see the lake, the mountains and the small town below. We can't quite believe we're living here, we got dead lucky. We looked at a couple of other places for the same price: on had a view of a supermarket car park and the other hadn't been decorated since the 70's.
All this luxury comes at a price of course, and this is that we have to climb the steepest street in history in order to get to our house, which is at the top of this ridiculously steep hill. Cars have to go up it in first gear and the pavent has steps to help you climb the hill. It's a real workout - by the end of the summer we'll have huge leg muscles
