Pinders Pond 2

Today we went meandering again and headed for Lawrence first. The hills and town were wreathed in mist. Eerie and beautiful. We drove around the town and just outside it for a bit. We found a house that Kelly and Grant fell in love with some time ago and then went to find Lake Mahinarangi.
What a surprise was waiting for us!! We drove for miles on gravel roads, through forest and farmland, one valley after another and eventually the lake came into view. It is a substantial sized lake and was completely new to us. It's surrounded by farms and boasts a village of around 30 fishing cribs. A very pretty lake.
Home via a different gravel road, wee bit of shopping and an ice cream and another day was done.
Probably moving on tomorrow towards Cromwell.Read more
