On the way I passed a very beautifull river, where you could do some jetboating, rafting, goldwashing etc....

I spent the night at a quiet campground directly at the lake. I could see the sunset ligthening the opposite mountains. The little white thing at the lake is a steamboat.

Which can be seen here more detailed:

And here in action.

I walked up to the end of a gondola, where I did the cheapest ride here, a 8 dollar short ride with a soapbox. From above you have a nice view over the city.

The nickname of the people here is "kiwis", not like the fruit but like the bird. A kiwi is a bigger bird, which lives on the ground. Here is a very large one.

And if you have done too many things and gotten hot, then you have the chance to cool down in an ice-bar with a chilling minus 5 degree temperature.
