After two fairly intense days of activity, we decided to lay low. We took a walk along Lake Wanaka past beaches paved with sparkly schist/mica stone and vineyards for Rippon Winery.
We missed our turn on the way back and wandered into Wanaka Station park which had a small rose garden and an absolutely massive redwood.
Hal had a nap. I read. We bought groceries. Then headed to the "i-site" to meet new friends, Margaret and Peter Sage for dinner at The Landing. The food was very good. There was a lovely view of the lake and mountains from the 2nd floor dining room, and we had a great time getting acquainted.
After Peter let it slip that Margaret's pre-retirement career had been as a hired assassin, I readily agreed to publish a picture of their adorable and very smart Norfolk Terrier, Tilly ;-) Hopefully, now that her picture has appeared in this blog, she will become famous as I promised them!
We had an exciting time trying to find their B & B (The Tin Tub) in the pitch dark, and seemingly out in the middle of nowhere, and then headed for home.
