We decided to drive up the side of Lake Hawea for the
day and it was a really nice drive and many beautiful houses and views en-route.
We stopped and took a few photos, to be added later, and arrived at a very
interesting café which is only open about six months a year as snow generally cuts
it off. This is the route to Haast which is a well know ski resort, we have visited
there on an earlier trip, anyway had a nice lunch by the side of the lake and
left relatively soon as there seems to be a few mozzies about which does not
suit Jennifer at all.
We had booked again for the cinema again tonight and so
got the same seats as the previous evening and watch a very good film called
Philomena which started Steve Coogan ( also the joint writer) and Judi Dench. The film was about a young girl in Ireland who
pregnant and was put in the work house and the baby was adopted without her
approval or knowledge until it was too late. The story follows Steve Coogan as
a journalist as tries to help her find her son. Great film and well worth watching
and these Southern Ireland nuns have a lot to answer for!!
Oh well we went back to the site which was very busy as there is due to be a triathlon in Wanaka
this Saturday when we leave and this could stop us leaving or at least delay
us, no one seems to know. Oh well whatever will be will be.
