Day 30 Te Anau
Yesterday was probably the coldest of our time in New Zealand but today was obviously brighter and warmer. We headed further south from Queenstown to small town of Te Anau on the lake of that name. The start of the journey was along the side of Lake Wakatipu and as usual was very scenic.
We left the lake at a place called Kingston and had read about a steam train called the "Kingston Flyer", we started travelling alongside railway tracks and eventually came across the train preparing to make a journey. If you like steam trains turn the sound on and enjoy!
After that excitement we carried on to get to Te Anau in the early afternoon and the temperature was now a very comfortable 23 degrees. We had some lunch and went to our lodge where we soon learnt that there was going to be a wedding in the grounds a bit later and so Christine wanted to watch that excitement.
We stayed a little while before going back into town to watch a film of the fiordland scenery - some of which we hope to see.
