Farewell Franz Josef and your 10 cottages.

First stop, Fox Glacier view point, no access available to the actual glacier , due to a slip 3 months ago rendering it unsafe.

Welcome to Bruce Bay, ice cream & our first encounter with the pesky sand fly.

A very scenic " Knights bay".

We found some dunes at "Ship (t) Creek"..A number of walks were available, but our old buds the sand flies beat us to it.

Ian took some lovely photos from the observation tower, while I swatted flies.

Ians tower, not Ian up it.

Thunder Creek falls, More falls, complete with flies.

Time for a quick selfie before the flies swoop in.

Fantail Falls, one of our many falls stops today.

Folks pile the flat rocks in awesome piles, on the fallen tree.

Ian in front of Fantail falls.

A 25 min return stroll to "Blue Pools".

The wobbly bridges lead us over the landscape.

Lake Wanaka Lookout, beautifully scenic viewed from this great height.

Kindly stranger take a snap of us.

After a wonderful day weatherwise , the clouds roll in mean & moody.

Before we leave Wanaka, a final view point " The Neck".

After a sticky check in, this is our Lake view room, we are happy to have touched down in Queenstown.

So we are off, to the Pub on the Quay for a couple of pints before discovering dinner.

The Mandarin Chinese Restaurant, full of chinese folks, ( always a good sign ) we have ordered a mini banquet.
Then back to the Scenic Suites to apply calmine lotion to our bug bites.

Goodnight reader, thank you for following our adventures. xxx
