One of the most remarkable places for me from that trip was Fiordland National Park. You really feel the power of the nature there. The only bad thing about it is the weather. The weather is extremely unpredictable & very often dramatic. Rain falls there more then 200 days a year (7-9 meters of rain a year). We were quite lucky - the weather was not perfect but it allowed us to do and see quite a few things.
The last day in NZ we spent in the neighborhood of Mt. Cook- the highest mountain in Australia (3755 m). The climb was really worth the effort . The view from it was absolutely excellent. On the way back, we stopped at the lake for a late picnic. The lake was weird; it had a totally unnatural but beautiful blue color - the effect is know as Blue Crash. Blue Crash is caused by glaciers melting and the water carries a special material which is now lying on the floor of the lake.
