The climb is billed at an hour and a half, but an hour would be about right. It was on well made dry tracks. So Emma, who is running a cross country marathon on Saturday (!) was in running shoes and I had a pack and walking boots.
All went according to plan until, when we reached the top of the hill, Emma's phone rang. She is a midwife and one of her clients had just gone into labour. Suffice it to say that the marathon runner in running shoes was better equipped for what followed. We ran down!
Wanaka is great. In every direction there is a mountain view and the lake is enormous (3rd largest in NZ).
Tomorrow I am off to Dunedin. I shall make a two day trip. My father went to Otago University (in Dunedin). I will have a wander about the university and check out the local area before returning to Wanaka, probably on Thursday evening....
