Wanaka,ka,ka,ka

So we have been in Wanaka for about a week now, the weather has cheered up so we have been busy climbing around the different areas. Been meeting loads of fab people and making some great friends. We decided to do a little day walk to Rob Roy glacier which took us through some lush forest areas, beside beautiful calm rivers to some hectic rapids, then up to the high point for a breath taking view of the glacier. Accompanied with apples and chocolate from Martin, an Itallian guy (who cant speak itallian). When we got back we decided to sooth our aches and checked out the local spa and hot pools which is only $6 for however long you want, we are becoming quite addicted.
The last couple of nights we have been staying with some friends, Tim and Ako who live a little out of the way of Wanaka in a mongolian tent, equiped with wood burner toilet and shower, its such a sweet set up we had a huge fire outside one night and had a go with some fire pois, hand hair has been lost!!!
We will be off to do a 3 day trek in a couple of days, just got to get little ol Charllotte through her WOF (MOT). fingers croosed she'll make it. Enjoy the pics below;
