Wanaka

We headed back to Wanaka and met up with Caroline and David (friends of Helen's mum) to watch the Ironman Triathlon. 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride and a marathon.. in a day. We watch the last team (average age 75) finish just after midnight to a line of patient spectators with sparklers and fireworks. The last individual finished a little later.

We then had a few days climbing on the fantastic little crags around Wanaka and getting our medical sorted for our NZ working holiday visa, whilst staying again in Tarras and enjoying a few home comforts (hmm.... oven and sofa).
