You can’t always have sunny and clear days. Today was forecasted to be rainy and we did get enough rain that the day felt a little mystical.

We decided to visit Wanaka before heading towards Queenstown. On the way we stopped at Lindis pass. The hills here were all golden with grass interspersed with wildflowers to give them further character.

Even the grass looks beautiful
Jodi sahi hain!
Wildflowers blend beautifully with grass

New Zealand countryside has many farms and sheep. This time we came across the famous merino sheep

Don’t they look like statues? Groomed merino sheeps

By the time we reached Wanaka, it was raining and our plan to visit the lake on the island in the lake (confusing enough?) didn’t work out as the water taxis stopped running to the island on the lake.

Instead we visited the Wanaka tree or the lonely willow. This tree is the only tree in the lake

The lonely willow

Check out the wingspan of the bird on the tree.

We reached Queenstown much earlier than expected and gave visit to Queenstown garden.

Can’t resist taking pictures
Is the picture of dog or Shraddha?

Check out the support they gave this tree branch

What an interesting way to support

The walk through the garden took us to the Wakatipu Lake.

Looked like a sea instead of lake
