Yesterday, Thursday, found us playing golf on the Wanaka Course with it's beautiful views over the lake and surrounding mountains. On the 2nd hole the Red Checkers planes started a half hour acrobatic display so that temporarily made it rather difficult to concentrate as we just had to try and watch but not hold other players up. My golf is going through yet another bad patch but I'm learning to at least enjoy the surroundings as we go from hole to hole. Len is managing to be reasonably consistent so that means he can give me a shot on each hole and still beat me! AND he has been especially good at Scrabble and Sequence lately too!
I think we'll have to play more 500 - I'm sure I still have the upper hand at that!
Not a normal occurence! |
Len is busy cleaning the outside of dirty, dirty Debussy as I write this so it's now time for me to do the inside!
Cool! |
We have also been to PuzzleWorld which is one of the leading tourist attractions in NZ and thought it was good -really interesting although rather disorientating at times! They also have a Maze but we didn't feel the need to find our way in and out of that.
Toilet stop before leaving PuzzleWorld! |
After a quick wander through town and the purchase of another book for me from the Salvation Army we hit the road again driving past Lake Hawea, where we rode our bikes, and on up to the top of Lake Wanaka to a free camping spot on the lake edge with 3 other motorhomes. We enjoyed another refreshing swim in the lake when we arrived which helped us to cool down in the hot temperature - about 28° - and then a hydrating beer in our deckchairs WITHOUT any sandflies although there are some coming into the bus now we have the lights on.
Tomorrow we will edge our way towards the West Coast - looks like the weather is going to stay sunny and hot but the whole country desperately needs some rain.
