Lake Wanaka take 2!

Got up pretty early (no curtains does that!!!) So went to the lake for a coffee and ended up renting a kayak for an hour! So cool floating around on the lake, checking out nesting birds (even if they got a bit angry with me!) And seeing the mountains emerge from the clouds behind... the water was so clear and beautiful as well 🥰
Met the ladies at 11 for a swim in the lake again... I honestly just can't get enough of this place, so gorgeous!
We parted ways but with a plan to go on a hike at 5:30 up Roy's Peak for sunset... a 2-3 hour hike I thought... turns out that's just up!!!
Really started feeling my age with the 2 early 20 year old storming off ahead and me bringing up the rear (also probably should have had more than a pint and an icecream for dinner🤣)!!!! was 8km up... just up! Lots of sheep and needless to say beautiful views! Reached the peak just before sunset but I stayed a bit lower as found a really nice place to perch and watch the sunset 😁
Way down was a bit precarious in the dark with only me having a head torch but our trusted leader (Victoria!) Got us down in one piece!!! It was also a lot easier to keep up with those guys with gravity on my side! 🤣Weiterlesen
