The G String Diet is Over

A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to do The Glacier Explorer boat trip here at Mt Cook. There were heaps of floating icebergs and it was far more interesting than we ever imagined with a fab guide too. One for the school holiday bucketlist I feel.

Lake Wakatipu at it's finest.

The red night skies don't stick around long at this time of year here at Mt Cook but they certainly create some interesting formations.This is my favorite time of year here for colour with the moody skies and the autumn leaves changing to yellow and burnt red. Often the days are warmer but the nights have that distinct chill that mean it's acceptable to light the fire some nights. Who doesn't live a roaring fire.

I can't quite remember how we first ended up in The Poolburn Dam area afterall it's not an area you just stumble across!! Maybe on a trip to nearby Ophir when I thought I might like to live in one of those gorgeous stone cottages, that is until I learnt about Haw frosts ❄❄ Located in the heart of Central Otago, far up a gravel, road and surrounded by the most amazing middlearth countryside, it's one of my favorite camping spots. Dotted around the waters edge, hidden between rocky outcrops are a handful of homemade, tin cribs, which just add to the magic of the place. The road is not for the faint hearted but it's totally worth the trip.
