Queenstown and Wanaka

Shaun joined Bethany and Danielle in Queenstown for a magical 17 hours before Danielle flew home. Flying through the mountain range with a window seat had been a great introduction the night before, but a scrumptious breakfast on the deck of the Boatshed cafe was even better. 

Then a walk to the almost deserted Bob's Cove combined with a swim for Bethany in the crystal clear water. 

  

Then our 17 hours together came to an end as we said a very sad farewell to Danielle. 

Shaun and Bethany visited Wanaka for a swim on a glorious afternoon.

  

(NB: a few days before Bethany had climbed 1000m to Roy's Peak - the summit on the left)

We ended the day by driving on to our accomodation in Twizel, but unless we missed it there's not much to say about Twizel - its just the closest place to stay when the accomodation in Mt Cook is booked out.
