Drive was really nice - more multi-coloured lupins everywhere and rolling hills and streams etc.
Stopped off at Wanaka and did hour hike on trail up Mt. Iron. Fabulous 360 views from the top with lakes and mountains all around. Nice setting.

Stop off at Wanaka
Up early again and cooked breakie. Before setting off had our first experience of emptying the chemical loo at the camps dumping station! Something we were dreading but actually turned out to be not quite as bad as we thought. Van sorted we set off towards Queenstown.

Twizel
Pretty exhausted after the trail so headed out of the park for an easy drive to Twizel. Stopped off at local shops to get food for the night. Brian's card didn't work AGAIN so I had to get cash.
Found a local camp site where they managed to squeeze us in (literally!) and cooked up a pasta meal as our evenings entertainment. Ate al fresco wondering why everyone else was in their vans and then discovered the mosquito bites on our ankles when we went to bed!
Photo doesn't do it justice but nice town Twizel.
