Isthmus Peak - Wanaka

Time to strap on the boots again: this time we decided to scale Isthmus Peak, a 1389m mountain that sits between Lake Hawea & Lake Wanaka.


With temperatures in the shade up in the high 20's, we were glad of some cloud cover - but it was still hot work! It was a seriously tough grunt, a 16km round trip, but as usual the views made the effort worth while.


The passing clouds left mottled shadows on the deep blue surface of Lake Hawea.


We were greeted at the top with a post and some strong winds so we took some quick snaps and headed back down.


It was good to be able to show Justin our favourite place in NZ, Wanaka. With so many excellent walks and irresistible views, it's easy to see why!


We spent the evening at the cinema, not your normal big screen; here you sit on sofa chairs with a glass of wine and they stop the film half way through to bring out fresh homemade cookies & ice cream - now why can't all cinemas be like this?
