Lake Wanaka and the peaks of Mt. Aspiring at sunset
My worst enemy
Last night i climbed one of the peaks just outside of town and got nice 360 degree views of the lake and mountains around Wanaka. I also met some people and we walked back down together. I didn't do much today other than run errands and read some. The bad weather is supposed to start soon, so I'm planning on going to a local cinema called Paradiso that has a good reputation here. Instead of standard seats there are sofas and they serve fresh-baked cookies during an intermission I'm told!
I attempted a nap this afternoon but as soon as I set my head down I could hear a motor starting up and then within ten minutes I had no chance of sleeping. For about 20 minutes, the guy pictured above was doing loops around my tent and didn't stop despite numerous dirty glances. Tomorrow I'm off for Makorora and the following day I'm going to hike around Gillespie Pass as long as the water level is low enough to cross the river out of town; fortunately I can just stay in town if it is too high.
