The first four shots were taken at Wanaka. It's a beautiful spot surrounded by, yes you've guessed it, mountains and lakes!
Isn't it just gorgeous though?
We arrived late morning and it was raining...again! We had no option but to do the coffee and cake thing and then.... yes still raining! So we had a little snooze in the van.... still raining, and then did a spot of shopping at the local supermarket and.... the sun was out and we manged to get a walk in around the lake, at last!
The last few pictures were taken at a cinema called Dorothy Brown (a pub stop off beforehand of course) in a little former gold mining town called Arrowtown. Mind you , you can still mess about in the rivers and in 1993 someone found a gold nugget worth about 25 000 pounds.
The cinema was a right litle find! The little room with the fancy chairs and sofas is the den and has it's own showing. The main performance is in screen one complete with fat comfy cushions and mohair blankets. They serve the most delicious homemade ice cream and wait for it, a cheeseboard in the interval complete with ya red (or white) wine! How civilised is that!

Hodie,
I'm a little disappointed that you're drinking a pint of coke in the picture! Not what I expect of you at all.
Rust.
Are you sure that pokey little boudior of a cinema is legit? I'm sure we went in a couple just like it in Amsterdam. There were definitely films showing at the time, but I'm sure it was darker and there were some funny noises coming from some blokes at the back.
Good to see your 'cinema' was empty though - I'd hate to have seen anything with the lights on.
