Day 29

We woke up at our usual spot and decided to make some pancakes. Lots of bugs were flying around but apparently not dangerous. However, Jack forgot the eggs in the pancake mix, and it want to a nightmare in the pan… A bit tired from yesterdays walk, we went to the library after seeing that our next hotel wouldn’t have good internet connection. It was Sunday, the library wifi wasn’t accessible! We went to the info center to pee and kept looking for wifi. I needed desperately to download fitness videos to keep in shape during our “day off” walking/driving. We spotted luckily a spark wifi hotspot that let us use the internet enough time to download our videos! Quite happy, we went to do the Diamond Lake walk. It was a nice steep walk (still better than yesterday!) and lots of people were on the track )those frenchies!).

We enjoyed a quick snack at the top of the rocky mountain with a pretty view of the bay, and headed down to the toilets in Wanaka. There was a little market on the grass with nice stones and metal Kea’s. Jack was quite interested by those ones. After a good lunch from NW, some shopping and fuel, we made our way to the studio in Cardrona. Very little “town” and confusing. We found our unit… but is hadn’t been made for our arrival! Quite confused, we eventually found some help near the pool where a lady who was managing other studios gave us a hand. After plenty of calls and some cleaning we could enjoy our “weekend”, emptying Sue, starting our washing and run to the hot pool (the other one was freezing so we did some very quick laps!). For dinner we had dips and veggies before crashing into bed quite early… (to many pillows!)
