Jen left Queenstown on Saturday the 18th of October (yesterday) and since she had been slack while she was here and hadn't actually visited Wanaka yet, we thought a road trip was in order. We left home at about 8am and headed up and over the Crown Range towards the Cardrona Valley and Wanaka. To our delight, winter was having it's last gasp and it was snowing at the top of the Crown Range. A compulsory snowball fight followed! Did we mention that Greg ALWAYS wins snowball fights?
We then had a cooked breakfast in Wanaka and continued on through and visited Lake Hawea and then the top of Lake Wanaka.
Then we completed the Central Otago geography lesson by finishing the trip going through Cromwell and the Kawarau Gorge. Jen learnt lots on the way about stuff she should have already known about. (For example: Are you sure they would be red grape vines? The grapes look green.... No Jen, those are the leaves.....)
We're glad Jen had fun here though, and although we're pleased to have the house back to normal, Burton is still looking for Jen as we speak.
Don't worry though Jen, it will all still be here next year when you come for a holiday.
