to Wanaka



We followed the Haast River for a while it was quite amazing, check out the size of those rocks in the Gates of the Haast, talk about rapids.......












This is the neck on Lake Hawea, this is a very significant Maori place - they do a lot of fishing and preparation of their seafood here. We travelled right round this lake until we go to......











Lake Wanaka.



How beautiful is Lake Wanaka. We stayed right on the waters edge in fact that is what our motel was called.


In the morning Haylee, Mary, Michele & I walked the 20 minutes around the lake to get into Wanaka. we did some shopping b4 we met the bus at 11am for our trip to Queenstown.
