28 degrees, sunny
We’re getting the hang of packing up the van now, pillows and towels stuffed into the crockery and utensils cupboards, upper cupboards emptied of their contents so we can leave the doors open (they make a horrendous racket otherwise) so now we can have a conversation when driving along.
Today has been a day of stunning scenery overload!
Left our campsite at 9.30 am and arrived at Wanaka at about 4pm having stopped in numerous places to admire the world. Driving down towards Wanaka every bend in the road revealed a fantastic scene, either snow- capped mountains, turquoise rivers, waterfalls, deep blue lakes, etc. Unbelievably beautiful.
Paddled over the stream to get closer, the water felt like it was cutting my legs off below the knees!
This shows how clear the water is, taken from a road bridge, looks like liquid glass flowing over the stones.
But the best view of all was the reflection of the mountains into Lake Hawea just before we arrived at Wanaka.
Could have sat there all day looking at this.
