We woke up this morning and it was still raining! It rained ALL DAY yesterday. We don't remember a minute where it stopped. We had some breakfast, got ourselves ready and jumped in the van. We hoped that on our way to Wanaka we could drive out from under the clouds - but didn't hold our breath...
About half-an-hour into our drive it DID stop raining (yippee) and suddenly EVERYWHERE was covered in snow (we'd left Jurassic Park and were now in Narnia) - it was at least a foot deep so we pulled over to take some pictures. When my back was turned Nikki thought it would be funny to launch a surprise snowball attack on me. Luckily she's a rubbish shot and missed - I however did not - hitting her right on the arse as she jumped into the van. When she refused to come back out I passed the time by building a snowman - Steven.
The drive to Wanaka had some wonderful scenery. All through the Southern Alps everything was covered in really thick white snow (much better than the sludge we get in England) - it was beautiful!
When we finally arrived at about 1pm we found a campsite and Nikki made us beans on toast for our lunch. We ate that and then headed back into town. The sun was shining and it was quite warm so we parked-up and took a walk along a huge lake and around the shops.
This evening we stopped in Scruffy Murphy's Irish bar for a Bulmers, before heading to the local curry house for an Indian, (which was nowhere near as good as Paprika), and then back to our camp.
Snowball fights rock!
