Heading for Hanmer

After a weekend of beautiful calm and sunny weather, it's all turned to custard today and we are back in the winter woollies!
We've driven to Hanmer Springs, through a wet, wild and very windy storm, so unfortunately plans for a walk in the woods have had to be shelved. And we can't have a dip in the hot pools either, as they are only available if you have a booking (numbers reduced due to Covid) and being school holidays, they are booked out all week.
We did however meet up with Justin and Lu plus Hank and Hana (who turned 10 on Sunday) and Joe, and spent a couple of very pleasant hours at Monteiths catching up on all the news.
Charlie picked up fish and chips (they got a bit soggy when his umbrella blew inside out) and we headed to our overnight park at the NZMCA site next to the Hanmer river.
The weather was so bad I didn't even take a photo, although we do have this lovely one that Lu sent us of some of our grandkids.Okumaya devam et
