wanaka

If you're ever in Wanaka, stay at the Wanaka Alpine Lodge. Hygge to the extreme!

Went mountain biking for the first time...

 The place was ours! Felt like Scandanavia and Alaska and the South Pacific all on its own

Biked into town to find that Wanaka tree, a famous one that's been in the lake 70 years

Cafe stop

heading to the south island

Landed Queenstown and we hopped in the car and I drove on the LEFT over this crazy mountain pass to Wanaka

Greeted by coziness and crazy clear skies...

And woke up to this fiery sunrise

auckland!

After an amazing 24 hours in Los Angeles, 20 hours later I found myself in Auckland. Some wanderings...

hike to lake margaret and downtown wanderings

Sunday we decided to drive about an hour east to Lake Margaret, which involved about a 4 mile hike to an alpine lake.

Mt. Rainier!

And, some downtown wandering...

seattle perfection

Cherries! Farmers markets! Salmon! Hiking! Alpine lakes! Sunset picnics! A perfect Seattle visit...

Stoneway Cafe stop...

Having a moment with an espresso and chocolates from Theo's

 To end the day, we stopped at the grocery to pick up some Washington wine and a picnic dinner...
