First month in Wanaka
So, been here 4 weeks.
No chance of wondering out the door in short sleeves anymore, with the snow on the hills it is chilly.
Went for our 13 week baby scan at the local hospital in Clyde on Wednesday - everything progressing as it should. As a special treat we went to Alexandra and had KFC. Normally not very exciting, but it's an hours drive away.....
This afternoon our own personal mtb tourguides (Trish & Callum ) showed me around. It was harrowing compared to attempting going for a bike ride back in Auckland. NOT.
First I rode to their place, took 4 mins. Then we rode to the local reserve from their place-another 4 mins. And that was that, we were off road and loving it.
Made our way over to the Sticky Forest, rode like screaming idiots down a great trail called Ballantis which left us on the downside of the trees so we headed on back to where we started along the Outlet river trail which follows the Clutha River.
Next it was Keighley's turn. She and Trish saddled up and went along the sidle track towards the Forest and back along the River trail. Nice and gentle for our expecting mum. (14 weeks)
.
To celebrate our 8th year together (today) Keighley, Emily and I popped down to our local chippy in town - the Blue Penguin Takeaways. The temperature guage said zero degrees on the way there and -2 on the way home, that was at 6.30pm.

And we picked up a hitchhiker to keep our kharma levels topped up. Guess we won't have to go to church tomorrow now.
No pics of today's adventure sorry. just imagine you can't feel your hands and feet on a beautiful blue sky day.
