It looks like it’s going to be another beautiful but very warm day, Morgan’s Island in the foreground and in the distance the Ben Ohau range where I normally fly my glider<\/p><\/div>\n

Mt Cook looking great today<\/p><\/div>\n

The Pukaki High Dam<\/p><\/div>\n

Where water flows out of the lake<\/p><\/div>\n

and a little further downstream into the Pukaki River which in turn flows into Lake Benmore<\/p><\/div>\n

And this is Lake Benmore and it’s hot and we’d like to cool off<\/p><\/div>\n

And so we do, what a lovely refreshing swim that was<\/p><\/div>\n

This is at the Falstone Campground<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

We continue our track further south, down Falstone Road, just to see what’s there<\/p><\/div>\n

And it’s beautiful!<\/p><\/div>\n

Lovely little beaches<\/p><\/div>\n

Lots of ducks<\/p><\/div>\n

These funny looking things<\/p><\/div>\n

Time for a nap in the shade, the great thing about this car is that is has so much space, this is the first time we were able to fit those chairs in the car and they are soooo relaxing<\/p><\/div>\n

The road ended at some farm and so we had to turn back, this is one of the little bays at Lake Benmore on the drive out again<\/p><\/div>\n

The Ohau B Power Station<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n
