Crystal clear waters of Lake Wanaka
The drive from the glaciers to Queenstown is beyond beautiful. The mountains, the lakes, the waterfalls, sheep, vistas and valleys are changing at each of the many twisting turns. We were pulling over the side to take photos every 10 minutes. The drive is shown to take 4 hours but took us about 8, including a glacial swim in the crystal waters here. Pulled over on one of the vistas, walked down the cliffs and had the place all to ourselves.
Our hitchhiker was a photographer with a keen eye for the scenery and an enthusiastic rock skipper so we enjoyed the views and the company.
I collected several of these glacial rocks, perfectly flat, oval and shiny, and will have to see if they fit in my luggage.
