Our first hike in New Zealand was to Lake Marian, a true 'mountain lake.' There were probably 30 or so people lounging in the area where the trail ends at the lake, but I think the view stunned everyone into silence - nobody was making any noise. Some text about Fiordland.

The cable car ride up and down was my favorite part. Erin was probably annoyed at how much thought and effort I put into getting a good view on the crowded ride, but I just can't help it. A day trip to the stunning Montserrat just outside Barcelona
I spent way too much time reading about flight paths from Auckland to Queenstown, to ensure I booked seats on the correct side of the place for these views. It paid off though, so I'd do it again. Mountains, lakes, wine, and adventure in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Like everyone else visiting Waiheke Island, we started our day on a ferry. Each ferry landing is like throwing open the gates to a theme park - hordes of tourists stream in, racing to be first to their intended destination. Fortunately for us, our intended destination was simply "a beach" and Waiheke is an island, so we were able to go with the flow.
