After our big trek in a short time on Stewart Island, we slowly made our way back to Wanaka via Dunedin to spend the weekend with Orla and Ed and what a great weekend it was. But before that, I need to say one thing: "I saw penguins, I saw penguins, oh how cute they were, loved them, wanted to bring them home with me!" We saw blue penguins off the wharf in Oban on Stewart Island, but really that was not enough for me so we headed out the Otago peninsula by Dunedin to Sandfly bay in search of yellow eyed penguins and to my joy we saw 3, one of them was been chased (in slow motion) by a sea lion, so he dived back into the sea to save his skin. Not quite sure who would win that battle.
So onwards to Wanaka, we met up in Kai for a yummy coffee followed by a couple or was that three glasses of wine and a curry. Not a bad way to spend Friday night. Saturday was awesome and chilled out, we all had the best of intentions to get out on the lovely autumn - but the four of us were in the mood for chilling and spend the day in the house doing house stuff, it was a thrill for myself and Andrew - followed this by a leisurely walk into Wanaka and a trip to the cinema, a must do in Wanaka, the paradiso is a real treat in itself the movie is an added extra. Its an old-skool set up with comfy armchairs, the odd cinema seat, bus seats and VW beetle, complete with intermission, homemade cookies and ice-cream. What more could you want?
Sunday came and we decided two house days would be too much. So it was off to one of Wanaka's little crag, Roadside, and ticked a bunch of easy routes. As the clocks had changed, the evening was closing in, there was a chill in the air, we lit a fire and had a sunday roast, YOM.
