A day of lots of stopping off to see things commenced with a
brief visit to the Shotover Jet, but only as observers (right)....  |

.....followed by a short walk in Arrowtown
where the plan was to find gold in the river. Hmmm, we didn’t exactly invest
hours so it will be no surprise that we failed! But the old town was nice to
walk through and we had lunch before getting back on the road.
We stopped in Wanaka for a view of #thatwanakatree with snow-capped
mountains in the background:
It would have been nice to spend more time
there, especially as there was a large beer festival on that I had failed to
notice in the planning stage! But the
aim of today was to make good progress towards Franz Joseph for our big glacier
adventure booked for tomorrow. I had
forgotten how much there was to see on route so it’s a good thing we kept
moving, though regularly stopping to take in mirrored lake views:

We found a really great new campsite for our
evening stop and played some more cards - this is my winning hand for round 5!
