Our flight into Queenstown was put into a holding pattern before landing, meaning we had to do a few laps over the spectacular landscape to wait our turn to land. No complaints from us! We then pickedLäs mer

We took a half day trip up to Cardrona for some hardcore skiing and snowboarding... (kidding!) Steve's recovering heel injury meant that we engaged in summer hardcore spectating, and with the winterLäs mer
ResenärPoor Steve must be champing at the bit to ski or snow board!! Maybe some gentle tobogganing? Or tubing? Looks like lovely weather!
ResenärHe did consider it, but in the 2 hours of our spectating, we saw 4 people stretchered off the mountain so common sense kicked in!
ResenärGlad to see you did at least go lugeing today ... not sure how you spell that though.

Another specular day with clear blue skies and no wind: perfect for a "hike" (as much as one can hike on a healing broken foot). Steve managed approximately 4kms return. Quite the feat. It was aLäs mer
ResenärAbsolutely! I really felt like I was able to immerse myself in the journey rather than aiming for a destination.

Yet another glorious day, but it looks like wet weather from tomorrow so we took the opportunity to soak up the sun, spending the morning at the water's edge doing a crossword. After lunch we tookLäs mer

Steve booked himself a massage in Cromwell (about 45 minutes drive away because everything is exorbitantly expensive here in Wanaka) which gave us a chance to explore the area. It's amazing to see howLäs mer
ResenärIt sure is, although I can't help but compare it to your pics of Czechoslovakia and wonder if I need to go there!
ResenärIt was amazing but it is Czech Republic and Slovakia as two seperate countries :). Both very different landscapes too
ResenärHaha. Just too focused on our own area sometimes and I think we miss so much
ResenärAnd Steve reminded me that it was your pics of Croatia that I was lusting after 😜
