It still amazes me how beautiful Lake Wanaka is, especially since 3 years ago, we never saw even a glimpse of what it looked like due to heavy fog and rain. Before we hit the road, we spent some time by the lakeside. It was a perfect mirror and it was hard leave this area.
Wanaka to Te Anu is about a 3 hour drive and goes through Queenstown. We stopped at the pilot’s club in Queenstown and Matt is cleared to fly weather willing next week. The plane he flew last time was sitting there just waiting for us to take it for a spin.
When we got to Te Anu, we had a few chores to do other than walking around the lake. #1 was laundry. As a pulled the bed apart to wash the linens, everything was wet. The last 2 nights in Wanaka, it was around 34 degrees. It was so cold. The cold temps combined with the little camper heater + plus our breathing had covered the berth ceiling in condensation. The mattress, quilts and pillow were wet. So #2 on the list was to dry out everything. We looked like trailer park hillbillies. The mattress smelled moldy, so I doused it in Frebreeze. #3 was to feed the ducks on Lake Te Anu and #4 was to do some grocery shopping.
