On our way
to Wanaka we stopped for a group photo in front of Mt Cook, and had a
walk around Lake Matheson. This was meant to be a reflective lake,
but it was a little windy to get the full impact from it. The walk
was nice though, and we got a few pictures. Along the way, as I think
I have mentioned before, it seems that kiwi experience are good and
we will stop at photo opportunities and for a walk where we can.
Wanaka
itself is a small town set on a lake. The place seemed really nice,
but it was pretty quiet as this seems to be quite a main place for
the ski season. We sat and chilled by the lake for the afternoon when
we got there. Then went for a drink in the evening to one of the
bars.
In the
morning we stopped off at puzzling world, which seemed a pretty
random stop, but it was quite cheap to go in and so me and Melissa
did. They have a few illusion rooms which were pretty weird, and
then had a large outside maze. I get really irritated with things
like that so we got to 2 out of 4 corners, and then gave up! Next
stop was Queenstown, exciting!!
ACCOMMODATION
– Base around $30 (can't remember)
The hostel
was based right near the supermarket, and about 2 minute walk from
the lake. The space in the room wasn't too bad for a 6 bed. We each
had our own plugs (which is amazing) and our own light. We could also
get a hair dryer from reception! The toilets were fine, but the
showers were a bit flooded as I think hair was stuck in the plug
(ew). The kitchen was a little bit small, but wasn't busy so was
fine.
