Tuesday 14th April: A milder night and then a hot sunny day again. In the morning we went out for a sail, but as you can see from the reflections in the water the conditions meant it was more of a bob than a sail. We tried fishing from the boat but no luck there. After lunch Steve brought the boat out of the water and soon it was time to leave. Steve was returning home with the truck and boat as he had work the next day. But the boys and I were carrying on our holiday for a couple more days. We drove up to the top of Lake Aviemore and admired the autumn colours from the top of the dam, then drove up to Omarama (pronounced Oh-marrer-mar). This just seems to be a settlement at the junction of two main roads, and there are always tourist buses stopped at the public toilets there.
We booked into the campsite there and met some friends who were going to stay overnight too. The boys played in the playground in front of the motorhome while I made tea, then the children from both families played a board game (Ladybugs - thanks again David and Sue) before bed.
