Steamer on Lake Wakatipu

The weather was more mixed on Thursday but the boys were very keen to ski so off they went for what sounds like a rather hair-raising day of wild skiing. Us girls had a much more relaxing day. We had brunch (of course!) and then indulged in a bit of shoe shopping. We then had drinks in a roof top bar which was gorgeous, heated by wood burning stoves and fires. At 4 p.m. the boys joined us for a sailing on the steamship TSS Earnshaw on the lake, which Chanel treated us to. They were cutting it fine after their skiing but made it just in time and came running on to the ship! It was a great way to see the mountains, the lake and the town, it is such an attractive area. You could also go into an area with a metal grille floor right above the engine room where you could observe all the workings of the engine; the coal being shovelled in etc. 

In the evening we had dinner in town in a nice grill house restaurant and had a very pleasant chat.
