Lake Wakatipu

For the last few days of our trip to New Zealand last month we were based in Queenstown which sits on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. The road on the north side of the lake runs to Glenorchy, a settlement of a little over 300 according to the last census. The road runs a little further, primarily serving walkers but we took the scenic drive as far as the settlement, had a stroll, took in the scenery and then made the most of a local coffe bar before returning to Queenstown.
