A Central Otago Vineyard (or two)

Waking to a magnificent lake and mountain vista is just something else.  Magical.
The day dawned a little grey and blowy and we debated going for a walk as planned or just skipping it.  The old 'let's just do it' motto came out again and so we headed back from 25 Mile Creek to Glenorchy and did the Glenorchy Lagoon trail at the north end of town.  Really cool walk,  with mountains around you, the river, and a lagoon area, as well as boardwalks and viewing platforms.  (1 - 2 hour walk).
On our way back, PB saw some people walking towards us and said "Those guys could be our friends, eh?" ...and sure enough, it was the lovely family we had met in Te Anau!  PB was over the moon and raced over to see his two wee friends.
The parents told us about a couple of nice wineries on the road to Cromwell, so after a very quick stop in Queenstown and a quick stroll through beautiful Arrowtown, we were off to Peregrine Winery and Kinross.
The day had settled into a stunner and it was a very pleasant way to spend the afternoon. We found another freedom camping spot,  this time on the shores of Lake Dunstan, near Cromwell and settled in for the night.
