Glenorchy

Thurs. 4/2 Our guide from yesterday recommended a drive up the lake to Glenorchy. The guidebooks say it is considered one of the most beautiful drives in the world. For about the first 15K I thought it was really pretty but certainly not one of the world's best. Then we rounded a curve up on a high bluff and a vista opened up that simply took our breath away. The books were probably right. My picture aren't great because the sun wasn't right but you can get some idea. We took a long walk around the wetlands and drove up to an area where some of the Lord of the Rings was filmed. All in all a low key, relaxing, wonderful day.
