41 hours in Cromwell

Denise was required to work in Cromwell for her company. They were holding a seminar for nurses from Medical Centres throughout Central Otago. My job was to look after registrations and set up her "Powerpoint" presentation. I also stayed around in case I needed to troubleshoot (which I had to on 3 occasions). Once that was finished I did walks on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday
I had not been to Cromwell's Old Town for a long time. It was only two kilometres away but I had to walk there in the rain. Although there was low cloud cover it was great looking at the Kawarau River. The Old Town was well preserved but there was no one around even though two businesses were open. Distance walked 5km

Sunday

I left our accommodation at the "Golden Gate Lodge" and walked through the Mall onto Waenga Drive. I followed this curved road around to Gair Avenue, then into McNulty Road and ended up on Barry Avenue. I walked along Barry Avenue past the Golden Gate Lodge till I reached, Highway 8B. I turned left until I reached the interseection at the Wanaka - Queenstown highway. From there I walked back to the hotel. Distance 6 km
