St Bathans, Maniototo

A fabulous day had by all at St Bathans for these awesome travellers.

Sunscreen, snacks and cool drinks whilst dipping toes into the pristine waters of the "Blue Lakes" at St Bathans.

While they meandered around the edge of the lakes, marvelling at the lunar Blue Lake and amazing white clay cliffs and their formations, I set up my laptop and mobile hotspot and worked on this website.  (I didn't want to cramp their style!)

St Bathans is a short diversion from the new Central Otago Touring Route, which links Dunedin and Queenstown in a series of picturesque mining towns. It is the car equivalent of doing the Otago Rail Trail.
