We took a stunning drive along the Wakatipu Lake to the northern end, Glenorchy, and let me tell you, the views were everything. We even had a mini competition to see who could skip pebbles the farthest—spoiler: I totally… did not win. I may have lost, but I still put up a good fight!
Glenorchy did not disappoint. While the settlement is quite small and the mountain peaks didn’t ooze snow-capped magic, but the scenery? Still jaw-dropping. Oh, and fun fact: this place was one of the settings for the first Lord of the Rings movie. Just imagine us as hobbits, but with less walking…
