Earnslaw and Walter peak


**blogger screwed up, so the pictures and the captions are no longer together...**

Friday night was Nick's work holiday party, on the TSS Earnslaw.  The Earnslaw is a steamer which still uses coal as it has for decades.  Now it is a tourist boat taking you around Lake Wakatipu.

We went to Walter Peak station, beautiful night and sunsets after 9pm now that it's almost summer!

The station is still a working sheep farm and also has the restaurant and grounds for tourists.  Gorgeous views looking back to town as well.

And finally approaching sunset...


After dinner we saw a demonstration of the dogs going to get the sheep, and then a shearing.


And more pictures of the lake as we waited for the boat to return.
  
Wonderful time and gorgeous night!
