We flew from Auckland to Queenstown and are now on the South Island. It seems strange to those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere that the further south you go, the colder the weather is. But that's the case. However, we've had nice, brisk, sunny days since we arrived here a couple of days ago. The scenery here is spectacular.
Our hotel sits on the shore of Lake Wakatipu. The majestic mountains called the Remarkables are in the distance, snow-capped.
Because of the lake's unusual shape, it has a "tide" which causes the water to rise and fall about 10 cm (about 4") every 25 minutes or so.
