In 2023, my motorhome journey to Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu etched memories that linger like a cherished dream. The crisp air of Queenstown embraced the breathtaking Southern Alps, creating a picturesque backdrop for our adventure. As we meandered along the shores of Lake Wakatipu, its crystal-clear waters mirrored the surrounding peaks, casting a mesmerizing reflection. Every twist in the road revealed a new panorama, each more awe-inspiring than the last. Queenstown's vibrant atmosphere and the serene beauty of the lake left an indelible mark on my soul. As the sun dipped behind the mountains, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, I couldn't help but whisper, "In 2024, I wish to go there again."
Been there, lived there, seen it, captured it, never regretted it.
Lake Wakatipu is the third largest lake in New Zealand. Its scenery is beautiful, and taking a stroll along the lakeside will leave an unforgettable memory for a lifetime!
