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.



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

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

Check out the wingspan of the bird on the tree.

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



Check out the support they gave this tree branch

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