Meeting Frances was like winning the jackpot; her hospitality (we were greeted with fresh baked biscuits) and her genuine sincerity made this a memorable one night stay at her lovely home overlooking the town's famous lake with the beautiful mountain range in the background.
As a matter of fact, my daughter and I spend more time with her than exploring Wanaka itself.
We were sad to leave and I think we have found a new friend on the other side of the world!
