Wanaka Walkers

Because there was rain forecast, we did a local walk, starting at Bremner Bay and walking along the lake front to Beacon Point.  We turned back, and walked back to Bremner Bay where we had our lunch.  We then went to a local cafe for a nice hot drink to warm up.

Year 1994

My girls and I headed to the UK where we spent 6 weeks touring around, we went from John O'Groats, down to Brighton in the South.  My favourite places were Chester and Haworth.   I didn't return to Hamilton, but headed for my new home in Wanaka.  I have had no regrets.
