Lake Okareka, Sweden

Thursday, 19 January 2012

The map says NZ, but the place screams Sweden to me.  We're staying by an idyllic little lake surrounded by forest (on one side anyway- the other is NZ farmland). The lake is long enough to get a good paddle in (especially in the slow-arse plastic fantastic I have access to) and it's also got waterlillies! - cool huh!  The oldies in our group (mum, dad, his two brothers and their wives) are staying in a lakeside house - and as you can see it's really lakeside and comes equipped with kayaks and other toys.  It's fantastic.  I haven't done it justice with the photos - I'll add more when they come to hand.
