Queenstown and Ben Lomond Summit — Queenstown et Ben Lomond
March 11, 2007
Queenstown viewed from Ben Lomond Summit
Here we are in New Zealand. Well arrived!
Today, we went for a long long hike by Queenstown, to get to the top of Ben Lomond Mountain, at 1748 m. And that was rough! Seven hours on a steep path. Yet, with a view like this, I can only tell that it was worth the effort and sweat. But what a hike!
I promise more news soon.

Que c’est beau… ça me fait penser à une expression marocaine: “pour le plaisir des yeux”.
Profitez-en bien, faites vous plaisir.
J’ai testé les sablés au chocolat que vous proposiez avant de partir; en un seul mot, comme la vue ci-dessus: DIVIN !

Simply stunning!

What a view! I totally agree with you – for such a view the 7 hour trek would have been really worth it. One’s the exhaustion is taken care of, I am sure you would see nothing but the beauty of the view.Thank you for sharing this picture with us. More and more people should take on such trips and see the beauty of nature.
