Dunedin and Wanaka

In need of a break from all this mountaineering we got back into tourist mode and headed to Dunedin where we hoped to meet up with David and Carolyne but after finding out they were running from the bush fires in Melbourne we ended up effectively house-sitting (or more accurately enjoying some home comforts like the sofas and oven!) We ended up staying almost a week as we explored the Otago Peninsula and did a spot of mountain biking, got Bongo the van through his 10k service and enjoyed some friendly hospitality. Helen even managed a day trip to Wellington (flying) for a job interview so it looks like we could be heading there for 6 months. Refreshed and revived we headed back to Wanaka for some more action packed fun.
