Morning at Lake Wakatipu

 

 


On the road to Glenorchy, Lake Wakatipu is the jewel of the region.  A Gorgeous glistening lake and misty peaks.  Queenstown is a tourist town very much like St. Augustine is in Florida and Glenorchy is low-key and lies at the head of Lake Wakatipu.  It is a 40 mile drive northwest from Queenstown.

Shotover River at Skippers Canyon, Queenstown, New Zealand


 
 


Shotover River runs through Skippers Canyon and is popular for white water rafting.  There were five rafts preparing to go down river as we arrived at the bottom of the canyon.

I visited the South Island of New Zealand for two weeks in March.  It was the end of their summer and beginning of fall.  Skippers Canyon was selected as the most dangerous road to travel in the world by Drive Magazine.  I was on a jeep Safari tour of the canyon with my friend Nancy.  The road was steep, curvy and very narrow.  It was a fantastic tour and we had tea and cake at the Skippers Canyon historical school house.
