Day Thirty Six Makarara to Omarama

Still heading for Mt Cook. Had a lovely lazy day. Left the rainforest and met the lakes. Stopped at Lake Wanaka. The photo will tell its own story. 

The sun was shining, the water was still (and cold) and no one seemed to want to swim in it apart from us!

Sat in the sun, had a 'brew', then a swim, followed by lunch!  Idyllic! 

The next part of the drive, about 100 km, was brown terrain. Brown mountains, brown valleys, brown everywhere - apart from blue sky. 

Stopped for the night in a little place called Omarama, about 80 km from Mt Cook!  Almost no steps done today and the feet are giving a sigh of relief. 

Short and sweet today!
