off to wanaka to visit the lake where uncle pats ashes were scattered. It took us about 1.5 hours by car to reach there. ohh, i drove, we used crawfords peak to go to wanaka, really scary as the road was winding and very high. it is the highest road in New zealand so its an acievement by itself. we stopped about 3 times to take some pictures overlooking the city. lovely postcard photos. finally arrived wanaka about 12 noon, so we went to the lake for a while then off to the puzzling world, a famous tourist spot. we tallied back a t about 3 pm after having fish and chips on the grass near the lake. My first time to actually do anything like it in my life.
on our way back we stopped at cromwell to buy some cherries. they were big and sweet. so we finally reached our hotel at about 4.30pm. we relaxed for a bit, and went to town to do some shopping. but the rain started to fall and went back to the hotel instead. at night we went to "ONSEN" a lovely hot water bath style spa. stayed for about 1.5 hours overlooking the mountain and river. the amazing part was that we could open the window. the view was fantastic and a thought came to mind how this would look like in winter with it all white. WOW! we finally got back at 11pm... one thing about this trip in queenstown is that you're spoilt for choices. whether it is adventure, knowledge or pure adrenaline. there's everything for everyone. i can't imagine the atmosphere here during the winter season. anyway, catch you again next time.
