Continue reading →: A weekend getaway to Lake TekapoI have just spent a long weekend in Lake Tekapo – a wonderfully scenic destination that has to be one of my favourite places for a short break away.

I’ve had the pleasure of dining there just once and I can categorically state that the food, service and surroundings were all to my liking!

Continue reading →: Misty HillsToday I walked up the Bridle Path, then down it into Lyttelton, then back up the path from Lyttelton and then up to the Gondola. This part of the track is the walk up to the Gondola. It was very pretty with the cloud rolling in. Here’s the other side…
