When a colleague of mine said he'd received a postcard from Wanaka I thought this was a pretty mean way to talk about someone who'd taken the trouble to write. But then I found the stunning Lake Wanaka homepage and it certainly does the job of making you want to visit this Kiwi beautyspot. Just be careful how you say it...

Staying on the tourist tip (maybe it's just been too long since I went on a proper holiday) I found via Yakitori a cool webcam of Wakaejima Beach.
