11th February- A walk around Wanaka

We took it very slow this morning following a busy day yesterday. We were having breakfast in the communal breakfast room and watching the morning breakfast show on TV and out of the blue they announced the startling news from Christchurch that the local prostitutes are being affected by the world economy and business is very slack and so they are now beginning to offer special deals. Lunchtime specials and reduced rates before six pm are being offered and Noel suggested that they try BOGOF as another alternative..

We walked around town which was fairly quiet although a coach load of Spanish tourists turned up and the general background noise rose dramatically; you can always tell when the Spanish arrive.

We had lunch in a very nice little café with a bowl of soup and an organic slice of carrot cake.

We looked at the local cinema to see what is on and although there was a good choice but actually not what we wanted for last night. We did some shopping at New World Supermarket for the evening’s dinner of salad and then had an early night after looking at the weather report in the internet for the next week which looks very poor indeed and even quite worrying.

We took some photos of our walk around town which will be up on the internet soon.

Let’s hope all the rain talked about will not come as packing up a tent in the wet is not much fun.

Just we got in to bed it started raining, damn.
