Day 303 (Sun 6 May) - Te Anau

Left the campsite and drove into the town to drop off the fishing gear. The clouds had lifted so we took a few pictures of us by the lake before we left.

Drove towards Queenstown passing passing beautiful vineyards on our way. Stopped briefly at Lake Dunstan where Ruth decided to test the temperature of the water before diving in. Bit cold so we headed off.

Drove past Queenstown but we'll stop off here on the way back. Past the ski slopes, the Remarkables, which in a few weeks will be covered in snow, and drove alongside Lake Wakatipu towards the east coast. The scenery was spectacular.

Arived in Te Anau and checked into the Te Anau Top Ten Holiday park which was reportedly one of the best in the country. It didn't seem that impressive when we drove in but we pottered off to explore the town.

It started raining so we popped into the pub for a drink. Later we went back to the campsite to discover that we were in a car park. Our neighbours vans were on top of us we could only just about get into the van. Jo, a little tiddled, went to complain which made her feel better.

In the evening we went back into the town and had a lovely meal at a friendly little restaurant called Keplers. It was a great evening and the food was excellent.
