Well, I take it all back about people not being in the holiday mood. Last night there was lots of madness in the campsite (Tim thinks its because it's almost a full moon) and today there are MANY Santa hats in evidence. I offered to take a shot of our campsite neighbours this morning for them to send home - they had their hats on, and two bowls of cornflakes for their 'Christmas dinner'. Comedy. By the lakeshore, everyone is out sun bathing, BBQing and drinking. As well as the Santa hats, much tinsel was in evidence when we cycled past - wrapped around midriffs and in hair. So it is very festive!
After a late start, we got on our bikes and headed out for a long ride - actually much longer than we anticipated so we are both cream crackered and Tim has obviously pulled down the shades of the van for a little power nap. The bike ride itself was gorgeous, going over some ground that we had already covered when we were in Arrowtown, but running parallel to the Shotover river (best river in NZ for gold) and with stunning views of the mountains - will upload pics in due course. Tim had a much needed dip in one of the lakes we passed - he loves doing that.
We have our Christmas 'lunch' booked for 6 so we are going to head down into town shortly.
All that remains is for me to wish you a very Happy Christmas!
