Day seven continued

From there it was an hour drive running alongside Lake Wanaka (NZs fourth largest lake) and Lake Hawea. We were greeted by blue skys and warm temperatures of around 80. The mountains around Wanaka were looking a bit hazy due to the smoke from the Australian bush fires. They are having a hard time over there with towns wiped out and lives been taken. Hard to believe the smoke can make it the 2,800 miles (same distance as Florida to Washington).

The Suburban is running well, although the front brake pads definitely need replacing and the brake lights has stopped working. The fuse and bulbs are all good so could be the brake light switch which I’ll look into.

We have five days here in Wanaka so will get some shots of the town and surrounding area. It’s a peaceful and scenic town of around 9,000 and based on the wife is similar to Bend, OR. We are heading across to Milford Sound tomorrow which we are really looking forward to.

Just looked into the auto rotating photos and see its a challenge with the iPhone orientation. I'll get this sorted so you don't have to turn your heads sideways!
