Wanaka

Lake Wanaka

First stop: Wanaka, advantageously situated at the southern end of Lake Wanaka with stunning views of Mt. Aspiring across the lake. I was anxious to get to Wanaka and the Festival Of Colour, a five-day celebration of the arts, but when we arrived, we were hard-pressed to find any evidence of the festival at all.  If there had been fabulous events, we missed them.  To assuage our immense disappointment, we took a couple bike rides around the lake.  And found the real Festival Of Colour, on the banks of Lake Wanaka.

[this is good] Isn't it magnificent?  If I won lotto, I'd buy a place there but I doubt there would be any houses for sale..who wouldn't want to live there!  A wealthy Australian politician bought a mansion over there..in fact a few wealthy Australians have bought land or houses in some of the most stunning places in New Zealand.  Sam Neill, the actor, has a mansion in Queenstown.  Do you ski?
