I just got back from one week in Lake Wanaka which is in central Otago, just north of Queenstown. WOW! I worked a tennis camp for three days and then hiked and relaxed for three days. What a beautiful place. The township is located right on the shores of Lake Wanaka and has just the right amount of restaurants, pubs, and cafes to maintain its small town charm. I met a great group of people at the backpacker and we all hiked and hung out together for the week.
I hiked to the summit of Mount Roy with a new friend from Argentina on Thursday…it was a tough hike but we were rewarded with incredible views of Lake Wanaka. On Saturday I hiked with three girls in Mt. Aspiring National Park. We took the Rob Roy Glacier Walk. It was stunning to see the glacier just rolling over the top of the mountains.
Now I can start to write about each place in a little more detail that I’ve traveled to in the last 30 days! Check HERE for new pics from Wanaka in the South Island album.
