Monday morning in Doubtful Sound

Oh, the beauty. So calm, so pristine. NZ is for nature lovers – yup, that’s me in the kayak!
Just over 2 ½ hours' drive brought us to Queenstown, the "Adventure Capital of the World". It is nestled along Lake Wakatapu.
We heard the news from other American travelers! The Boston Red Sox are World Champions, once again! We toasted them in Queenstown at an Irish Pub with Irish stew and pints of NZ Speights beer! (Those other two light beers aren’t ours – two girls from Scotland were sharing our table.)
In the evening we took a really steep cable car up a mountain overlooking the town and the “Remarkables” (a mountain range used in the filming of the “Lord of the Rings”).
