The sunrise in Wanaka was absolutely STUNNING on Saturday morning.
Eric snuck out to take these photos behind the B&B before we filled up on a delicious breakfast. After packing up we headed south toward Queenstown via the Crown Range Pass. The day was pretty cloudy but we still had good visibility from the overlooks.

And, there were other sites that were a little less “natural”…

After this, the steep descent into Queenstown begins. Still a lot of scenic views.

On our return to Wanaka two days later we went through Cromwell instead, home to quite a few wineries, but we are glad we took this pass at least once on our trip.
