A few miles outside Hanmer Springs are the vineyards of Marble Point (an excellent home-grown riesling accompanied a spot of lunch) with a view framed as ever by the Amuri Range, splendid in the sunshine,
gorgeously situated overlooking the Waiau river
(complete with jet boat tour zooming by periodically)
Later on in the day, Duncan explored the walking route into HS, including taking off socks and shoes to cross the wee Chatterton river which runs through the St Helen's land (roll on building the bridge for when the girls walk this way to school!)
Sadly, being alone, no pics of his actual intrepid crossing...
though he managed a selfie with his celebratory cool-down Kiwi ice-cream
