Ian's comment, "Another day in lazy-town." (That's if you don't go jet-boating, paragliding, tandem-skydiving, skiing, snowboarding, river rafting, mountain climbing or trail walking!!)
Campervan ablutions this morning. (Joy.) It gave Ian the challenge of putting on the snow chains which he said was fun! Strange man. Well it looks like McCafe coffee for morning tea, maybe another Ferg's pie for lunch?
Our plan went well; even better than well. We had our coffee and went in search of a bakery as Ian has been in search of a good bakery the whole trip. I spotted a French Patisserie (Les Alps) and was game enough to go in for a look. Oh wow! Délicatesses non imaginables! I bought the St. Honore ($NZ7.20), which was a choux pastry filled with French custard and cream with some kind of toffee glaze! Fantastique! Magnifique! What more can I say to convey that it was very YUM (my new favorite word) and worth every cent! We filled in some time looking for some small souvenirs for friends before heading to a bakery in town that we'd spotted. I'm afraid the pies looked rather lacking compared to Ferg's and I really wanted Ian to have the best because of that gorgeous pastry I had just eaten. So he had the Ferg's Thai Chicken pie (me too) and a Pork sausage roll. He favoured the pie. Then we went for a nice long relaxed walk along the banks of Lake Wakatipu again, taking in the beautiful scenery, the paragliders, and the water with it's glossy reflections, boats, ducks and seagulls. Then up the hill to the camper park for (haha) afternoon coffee and a fresh batch of scones. Early showers and unwind from all the days hard work!
Bacon and egg burgers for dinner tonight and early to bed. Wednesday night TV in NZ is pretty bad. It's expected to be -6C overnight tonight! Brrrrr............ We are leaving tomorrow.
