Well Done Wanaka

Another beautiful day here by the lake. Easily 30 degrees. We sauntered down to the lake and dipped our tootsies in the water. It was cold, but very refreshing and really really lovely. There were loads of little boys swimming in the crystal water and diving off the pier (all shouting as they dived into the cold water). We fed the ducks and gulls again today, one bread roll each. The ducks nibbled by jeans and caught the bread in their bills like dogs, while the gulls flew right in front of me, hovering in the air, and took the bread from my hands. They nipped the Monster's fingers, but they only took the bread from me. It was a lovely experience. Wandered around the town and had drinks in a shore side cafe. Moving on to Auckland tomorrow. First leg of the journey is a seven hour drive to Kaikoura, then over night there and head on to Picton the next day, cross to the north island and spend the night in Wellington. Then another 7 plus hour drive to Auckland, where we spend our last two days. The Monster has pledged to do the jump from the sky tower in the city and you know, I might do it with her! So, probably won't be blogging til we reach Auckland. See you then!
