Fairly cloudy and much cooler this morning which was not really a problem as the LLW had lots of work to do before we headed off for more exploring.
Once completed we drove around parts of the lake that we had not seen before, contemplated a swim but quickly decided against having tested the water temperature and then prepared ourselves for he evening's celebrations with lots of wedding guests at Francesca's in the town.
We decided to walk down which was slightly longer than we had remembered at 2.2 miles and noted that it was mostly downhill which means the opposite on the way back!
A really excellent meal at Francesca's which is a relatively new Italian restaurant in Wanaka and interesting to see that by and large the Italian wines were cheaper than the New Zealand ones; it's a funny world at times! Our boisterous party pretty much took over the restaurant and I felt rather sorry for one couple who looked as though they had planned a quiet romantic dinner.
People arrived at various stages during the evening; some having just landed at Queenstown and others having toured the two islands. The following is a photo of Helen, Hilton & Anne's daughter holding Grace her brother Ali's daughter.
All very enjoyable but now time for the uphill walk back to out campervan which was quite hard work!
