01-0-07 - Debs birthdayWeather report... Bright, crisp sunny morning, slightly cooler.
Deb opened her cards and says thanks to everone ;o) Back into town for a fry up again, ready to set us up for another days touring. This time we headed off to Lake Wanaka, a sister resort area to Queenstown. Having spent some time in Wanaka I think I prefer it more than Queenstown, slightly less commecialised and definitely not as built up.
On arrival at Wanaka, again after an hours drive through some amazing scenery along the Crown Range/Terrace, I decided to take Deb out for a birthday stroll. After 30 minutes or so off hot sweaty hill climbing we reached the top off Mount Iron, a local peak that gives views all round. Another milestone for Deb, hill climbing and more sweat than she ever manages in the gym!
A bite to eat at one of the lake front cafes then a drive up the lake coast into more deserted countryside. Then back along the Crown Range into Queentown to tidy ourselves up ready for Debs birthday meal. This will be followed by a sticky chocolate desert at a chocolate/coffee shop we found.
Then an early start for the long drive through the Alps to the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers. Catch up with you later....J&D
