Visiting Waiheke Island while in Auckland was fun though.

i actually skipped queenstown and camped near te anau south of queenstown, on the lake with the view of those mountains. i booked lodging late and essentially nothing was left in queenstown, being such a huge international destination, but then also realized how busy queenstown was going to be around new years and was trying to avoid that on the south island.
te anau is also down there on the way to milford sound. i was planning on driving there but weather socked everything in that day, so i wouldnt have been able to see anything and canceled the trip.
