There's a fun new activity in Queenstown which doesn't cost an arm and a leg.  You get to ride a Segway around Queenstown which is really cool.  The guide gives you a quick training session, then you're off for a spin around town.  The  circuit they take leads you around the lakeside which is really beautiful.  It's funny how many people stare as you ride through town.  It makes you feel like a celebrity.  Later in the trip you get some free time for a ride around the gardens.  It's amazing how much fun these machines are to ride.
