Glendhu Bay on Sunny Lake Wanaka

Camping tonight on the western shores of Lake Wanaka at the Glendhu Bay Motor Camp. This one's a keeper.

We may be at a campsite, but check out the nighborhood (more here)...

Controversial American billionaire, Trump donor and venture capitalist Peter Thiel has taken New Zealand citizenship and quietly acquired a (ed. note: 500-acre) Wanaka lakefront estate...The property, eight minutes' drive from Wanaka, is on the Glendhu Bay-Mt Aspiring Rd, near the (ed. note: humble but glorious) Glendhu Bay Motorcamp.

Here's our short drive today (click here to view map if reading in email).
