ANZ 2011 (6A) - TeAnau to Queenstown 17 to 19 December 2011

After TeAnau, I believe the scenic route improves tremendously. This is especially so after we reach Kingston which is located at the most Southern tip of Lake Wakatipu
The crystal clear water of the Lake epitomes the unspoilt landscape of the South Island.

Jeremy here has to settle for a 'rock structure' instead of a sand castle. Geography teacher grandma has to explain to Lil Jeremy why there is no sand as this is a lake not a beach along the sea/ocean!

After Kingston, the road leading to Queenstown 'played' along the shorelines of Lake Wakatipu which translates into excellent scenic picture facing the windscreen of the Hyundai Styrax.

Once hit Queenstown, the immediate feel is that as if its like a homecoming experience ie back to civilisation ! Apparently, the town is built around an inlet called Queenstown Bay on Lake Wakatipu, a long thin Z-shaped lake formed by glacial processes, and has spectacular views of nearby mountains.
The excellent view can be seen best via Skyline Queenstown
