No more snow falling this morning, but some must have fallen through the night as there was about another 2"s or so on top of yesterdays snow. The sun was peeping out and already everything starting to thaw out and go slushy. We actually slept in; must be the cold! Finished our breaky and morning routine by 10am and then headed into town with camera and tripod to do a bit more 'snow' sightseeing and photography, this time around the lake. I think it's Lake Wakatipu.
First we stopped while I set up the tripod to take pics of the Queenstown residences with their icing rooftops and snowy pine tree backdrops. So pretty. My fingers were frozen within minutes. No wonder, as I think we had a high of 5C today. Then to traverse the snow and slush and icy path to town. The lake was so beautiful! Lots of children building snowmen and people feeding the ducks and seagulls. Lots of sightseeing activity going on. We took our shots and then back to the main street for our Ferg's pie for lunch. Ian had Chicken Carbonara and I had Thai Chicken. Again faultless!! 10/10. Now that's what I call a pie! Beautiful fresh crunchy flaky pastry, just the right thickness and buttery flavour, brimming full with creamy Thai chicken chunks and sauce. And it was golden and pretty, felt heavy in my hand. Yep, perfect! If I had a pedestal, I would have put it on one, instead I ate it!!! hehe.
I realised I had a headache coming on and thought a coffee would help, so we headed for our regular McCafe coffees and we also shared a Hazelnut Caramel Slice. (Not highly recommended.) Then we went for a walk along the lakeside past the docks. Very pretty with the snow right to the water almost. The sun was out and the light was so bright. I'm not sure if it was the glare, taking photos or dehydration, but my headache was massive now, so we headed back to the camper. I downloaded my new photos straight away to see what I had captured and was pretty pleased with many of them. I couldn't fight with this headache anymore and had to go to bed for a rest while Ian went to the chemist and got me some Panadol Back and Neck pills (the same as the Panadol Osteo). Two of those, a nice cup of tea, a bit more rest and I was good again.
Early showers before it got too cold, then we re-visited the Chicken Tikka Marsala again for dinner. This time I cooked. Yummy dinner, boring telly makes for a good reason to get an early night. Oh, not to mention the butt-freezing cold!!! as opposed to nice cosy warm bed.
