Day 12

Another two wonderful days! Nigel went on an expedition to Skippers Canyon in a 4 wheel drive very rugged country and quite scary! In the afternoon we crossed LakeWakatipu by the 96 year old paddle steamer to Walter Peak High Country Farm - a station miles from anyhere with a wonderful homestead, now a resturant, where we were igven three wines to sample and then choose which we wanted with our very sumptuous meal. It was a lovely evening and we went round the farm before returning across the lake on the steamer. Food is certainly a priority as far as NZ people are concerned - the choice and the portions are vast. More on a separate blog.
