DAY SIXTY EIGHT

St Arnaud and a nippy 2 degrees this morning. Now in Blenheim a comfortable 18. St Arnaud is a quaint place with lots of old holiday cottages set between hedges and a few modern homes in the street where we parked up. Of course there is the lake for water fun and in the winter a ski field so it does get very busy. The DOC visitors centre is very informative and has good displays. On our walk we came across this dear chapel with the gorgeous picture (distraction) window. Had coffee at the lodge/resort on the way back home and were so impressed with the friendly staff and homely warm ambience decided to return for a pizza at dinner time. We weren't disappointed. That's where the taxidermy (photo) were. The other Swiss chalet building is back packers accommodation. Roger enjoyed a look around the museum. The boat used to belong to Jaqui Kennedy and was used in.one of the James Bond movies. It is due to be shipped back to America. Visit St Arnaud if you get the chance. There's more to it than you might think. An interesting side note - when we lived in Tawa our neighbour family used to go there to a family batch in the Summer. One year Leah went with them.
Other than a walk to the supermarket we are taking the opportunity chill this afternoon and make plans for our day tomorrow .Read more
