DAY FOURTY THREE

A trip to Wanaka was the highlight of the day. On the way we stopped at Luggate to check out the Miller's sections and to suss out our Friday over night park. It's nice and close to the airport ready for an early arrival at the gate on opening for the airshow Saturday. Wanaka was packed with tourists which is really good for the town. I hope they're all spending up large. 🤑There are a lot of changes both roading and building development since our last visit which was interest to see.. We parked at Eely Point and rode to Waterfall Creek (Leah) stopping of course at Edgewater Hotel for coffee and scones. ☕️ It was a nice ride with awesome company (gotta say that) but boy was it blowing a gale along the town side of the lake. Driving into town we got quite a suprise to see snow on the mountains. No wonder that wind was so icey 🧊 I couldn't resist a photo with sis at the famous 'Wanaka Tree'. I've seen a few 'Lilliput tiny Libraries', but this is the first 'dog stick library'. Notice how low the level of the lake is. (Last pic)Read more
