Been a busy few days, very limited wifi, so here are 3 days together.
Wednesday started early with a stupendous walk round the jewel of Lake Matheson, famous for its reflections.
Then lunch at a salmon farm entertained by the white heron, kotuku, and a black shag.
We also stopped at beaches, lake moeraki, knight's viewpoint, ship Creek, kahihiki white pine tree reserve, saw hector dolphins.
, thunder force falls, We've held up by a rockfall on the road, drove along lakes waneka and hawea and eventually reached waneka spa hotel, disappointingly corporate and mediocre. But the long drive with 5 short walks was amazingly varied.
Thursday was the big big walk up mount Roy. 1200 metres, 3800 feet. BE IMPRESSED. Very challenging, especially as I thought we'd done it only to find another 250 metres to go! Exhausting for us both!
Lovely pizza meal this evening.
Friday was another driving day, starting with a delightful 3 hour walk round diamond lake and up another hill, name escapes me
!and a picture of the whole group.
Long drive past Queenstown to Te Anua, more of that tomorrow!
