not much! - Blogabond

I spent today and yesterday chilling by the lake, on a little beach on the side of the lake nearest the Wanaka Bakpaka, wandering around the lake, climbing Mount Iron - the highest point in Wanaka town, and apparently one of the area's short and easy walks - it's incredibly steep and felt neither short nor easy!!! - for great views over Lake Wanaka and beyond. And hanging about at the backpackers, which has a great garden with lake views, and some pretty cool people. I also checked out the Paradiso Cinema, which is a tiny but famous place, with a cafe attached. The cinema has sofas, armchairs, laz-e-boys and even a car with the roof chopped off to serve as seats, and you can order food and drinks to be brought to you in the cinema, or to have during the twenty-minute interval. There are even local adverts before the film (which are unintentionally hilarious). Oh, and the film, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, was pretty good too!
