No trip to New Zealand cannot be for surfing alone, you are compelled to be inspired by the stunningly beautiful scenery, especially in the South Island. The Lonely Planet describes the drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy as “achingly beautiful”, I’d say that was a gross understatement. At Glenorchy, which is at the head of Lake Wikipitu, we camped in one of the most scenic places you could imagine surrounded by snow-capped mountains on the edge of a lake, I even windsurfed when the wind came up late in the afternoon.
