We hopped off the bus and blessed the slight chill and smell of pine in the air.  Nanital deserved its reputation as a beautiful tourist town with its picture postcard scenery, lakeside eateries, clean fresh mountain air.  The blue dazzling lake surrounded by mountains and forests was a mix of Wanaka, Taupo and Queenstown.   We disembarked at one end of the town, the lake's head and took a cycle rickshaw along the narrow lakeside road to the other end of the town, Lake's foot.  Here the flat stretch of road climbs its way up to our hotel.  As we hop off the rickshaw we are greeted by one of the many porters that lug all manner of items up the steep hill.

We must be sympathising with the cooler season back in NZ with the drop in temperature, a bit of thunder and lightning and deluges of rain reminiscent of Auckland's changeable weather.  Due to this we've regressed back into a few old NZ habits, cafe lounging, overindulging in chocolate and vegging out in front of the TV.  Oh the shame of it!!
