Another dull drizzly day - a fine time to head south to Wanaka via a scenic route - not that we expected to see much of the mountains. Again we were to be surprised. Several hours later, the skies cleared as we reached the big mountains. Lots of great looking wave-bar in the sky, views across lakes, and having joked all day that we wouldn't see anything of Mnt Cook, a great view of it.
It was indeed a scenic drive including a narrow gorge through Lindis Pass. We rolled up in Wanaka later than hoped to find a paragling pilot ground-handling in the park down by the water front. Next few days don't look so good weather wise apparently... Still Wanak looks pretty - like west coast of Scotland, only with bigger mountains. Hope we get to fly here.
Finding accommodation was a touch tricky (popular here) - but managed to get motel room for the night. Thai food and sleep the final order of the day.
