Today we headed to Wanaka, the journey from Franz Joseph took us along the Haast river which is one of the most scenic drives in NZ, beautiful mountain and lake views all the way, we stopped several times for photo opportunities. The weather was fantastic and got hotter the closer we got to Wanaka.
Wanaka itself is really picturesque and is actually becoming home to the stars with Tom Cruise recently purchasing land there. Once we arrived we all got changed and went for a quick dip in the very cold lake followed by a very cheap BBQ courtesy of the local church who'd setup next to the lake to raise money.
Everyone was pretty shattered and an early night was in order in prep for a big night in Queenstown. The following morning we headed to Puzzling World in Wanaka which was a right laugh, they had a maze, illusion rooms and puzzles to boggle your mind, I felt like a kid again going round the maze.
