One of our stops was a small cove at the western end of the lake.
There’s a health retreat here and the skipper mentioned the retreat frequently complains about the volume of the ship’s on board commentary.
I was touring the bridge at the time and button to activate the ship’s horn was in arms reach.

The captain pointed out these trees, native to this part of NZ. I forget the botanical name but apparently everyone calls them broccoli trees.
