Our fearless leader Gisela

Oct 23 Tuesday- Queenstown to Wanaka 69 miles 4.5 hr. Today we visit an old Chinese settlement in Arrowtown. They were brought her for the gold rush. We walk the town of Arrowtown and have a coffee and sweet. We take a wrong turn and take the scenic route to Wanaka. Wow! Heart in mouth views and hair raising switchbacks turns. We stop in Cardona and see the 1865 hotel. This is alpine country. More spots to trip the shutter. Going this way we miss the 5 people who bungy jumped.( 2 women and 3 men) .We also missed Puzzel World and the Maze. We arrive in Wanaka at Aspiring Campground park early so I have a shower and just stand under the hot water for a long time as no one is waiting to get in.
