worked out (there's a gym here) and weren't out the door til afternoon. We mosied into Wanaka and cruised the shops that line the streets. Wanaka seems to be every bit a tourist town, with a huge Asian presence. Ardmore and Helwick Streets are lined with restaurant after restaurant interspersed with gift shops. There is a nice walking path along the beautiful Lake Wanaka that is populated by folks welding selfie sticks. Parking lots have very narrow lanes to optimize usage, and it's hard to move around.
We stopped for ice cream and enjoyed the brightening day. The sun was trying hard to come out. After a while in town, we decided to retreat to our little haven at Tin Tub. We had a glass of wine and sat on the patio and listened to the birds twittering around us. We're far enough from town that there is no road noise.
One thing we really like about NZ is the way most restaurants operate. You place your order when you go in and pay then. A server delivers your food, and you can leave when you're done. No tipping. Restaurant prices are pretty reasonable here. Tonight we each had a steak, fries, and salad for $40 US.
