Travel through Central Otago


After 10 days of walking, it is time to rent a car

and try driving on the left side of the road.


We are headed to Wanaka... through central Otago
 to the resort area for summer hiking and boating while
winter is alpine skiing and snow boarding.


Along the way... this is a common site. 
Fields of sheep, cows, and some deer.


A view of small houses along the road.


Our 4 hour journey took us through simply beautiful hills.


We are now headed north on Hiway 8 headed to Alexandra.
We are entering the area of fantastic orchards and vineyards.


Time for a picnic? 


How about a sandwich and some fresh fruit?


Back on the road again... the final miles to Wanaka.


Past vineyards we travel....


Lake Dunstan
The beautiful river running from Cromwell north to Wanaka.
The original Cromwell village was lost when the Clyde Dam
flooded the city and created Lake Dunstan.



Destination - Wanaka


Road worn...


The weekend begins ...


Time for some crackers, cheese, and a diet coke!
