VIEW OF THE TRIP SO FAR

THE SOUTHERN ALPS AT 7am FROM TERRACE DOWNS GOLF RESORT

TERRACE DOWNS TO WANAKA

On our last evening at Terrace Downs it rained; oh how it rained. When we left at 9am in the morning it was 5.5 degrees. However, our trip was smooth and apart from a petrol stop at Geraldine and a loo & view stop at Lake Pukaki we went straight through to Wanaka in about 4 hours 45 minutes.

The views at Lake Pukaki were mighty impressive and at about 8 degrees in the height of summer bloody cold!

Wanaka was 12 degrees when we arrived and we had a hot lunch to stop the shivering. Then check into the motel and off for 9 holes at The Wanaka Golf Club.

What a background this golf club has; it fair put me off my game! Above Jt at the 3rd tee with Laka Wanaka in the background.

JT has a long put to halve the 3rd; it was just short.

The Voltaren kicks in as John marks his ball on the 2nd green. Below JT with that wonderful view from The Wanaka Golf Club in the background.
