We didn’t blog yesterday simply because we lacked access to the web.

Our strange dreams continued last night, so hopefully tonight closer to sea level we will sleep well. Pack-up went well this morning, no issues as we left our apartment on time. We took a slow trip down the mountain as it was snowing on departure and we were overly cautious of the road and others. This paid off as we were overtaken by an idiot (want-to- be rally driver) on sheer drop off bend after he just caught up with us. Being fair he probably knew the road well, but he is still a bloody idiot on his choice of overtaking as he would have had plenty of safer overtaking locations 30 seconds on.

Once back in Wanaka, we stopped at a lakeside park to let the girls play and take photos of the scenery. A coffee, hot chocolate and two strawberry smoothies later we went on an exploration of the lake shores, and found a very nice park. Dozens of photos later, we headed out to the airport to see if our joy flight was possible. Sadly high winds and weather front grounded us today, but we scheduled a morning flight for tomorrow. We also visited Wanaka’s Toy and Transport museum, which was huge and very interesting. The range and scale of collectables, toy, car, trucks, tanks, and aircraft is simply amazing.Charlotte loved the eraser collection, and Cos enjoyed the numerous displays of Star Wars collectables.

We returned to Top Ten Van Park mid afternoon to check-in, have lunch and have a rest.
The evening was spent eating Mexican and a cake to celebrate Jacq's 10th birthday. Tomorrow we will return to the airport to see if we can get a joy flight, failing that then we head west regardless .
