After breakfast we said goodbye to our fabulous hosts, Carol and Bruce, and their dog Harry. Driving through Barry's Bay we stopped at the dairy to buy some cheese. We drove west up into the mountains. It took about 3.5 hours to reach our destination, the Wilderness Lodge at Arthur's Pass. The photo shows the view from our room. After a cup of tea we strolled round the Rainbow Valley walk. Before supper we walked to the sheep farm next door. Neil the farmer used his amazingly talented dogs to round up sheep. We then gave some milk to a new born orphan and fed some greedy older lambs. Into the wool shed next for a sheep shearing demonstration and some convincing propaganda promoting Merino wool. Back to change and then into supper. Sadly lamb was not on the menu..
