We set off on a very long journey. Of course we stopped for several photo opportunities! The first of which was at Lake Manatuba which was supposed to have amazing mirror like reflections of the surrounding mountains. As the weather was so misty I skipped the walk and stayed in the cafe. Took some lovely photos of postcards to see what it would have looked like!
After a stop at another waterfall we then stopped at a place where the boys could jump off a bridge into an amazing beautiful turquoise pool. The water was so clear for the whole of today so magical. I slipped on jumping off the bridge but went down to the shore. On the pebbly lake edge people had stacked up rocks to essentially make a big sculpture. I made my contribution :)
The rest of the drive down to Wanaka was unbelievable. The weather cleared and then we came past the lakes. Unbelievable!!!! It was the most incredible beautiful sight. Beautiful clear turquoise waters surrounded by mountains.
We shortly after arrived in Wanaka. An amazingly beautiful town. The town was sat right on Lake Wanaka and we got there late afternoon. It would have been amazing to have another day here as I arrived so exhausted I just wanted to go to bed! But got out for a walk to the lake and then had a very needed early night! Unfortunately the sun set behind a big mountain so the sun set was as spectacular as I had hoped it may be. In the morning the morning sun was lovely. And found a timeline in the paving stones along the lake side. So cool.
