After a relaxing drive from Haast to Wanaka we have arrived at our accomodation for the evening. “Oh not another B&B” is the quote from Mr Fogg. However once again I’m feeling smug, Just look at the view of Lake Wanaka from our own lofty balcony.

The sun is shining and it’s very warm sat here and peaceful even though this is the most built up area we have seen since Nelson.

So, this afternoon we are off to play at Puzzling World, a big play space for adults with lots of ( can you guess??) puzzles to ponder and a 1.5km maze to get lost in.

Wanaka features in the very start of the Lord of The Rings Two Towers film. since Mount Aspiring and the mountain ranges at the head of the lake are the opening shots of Moria.

Neither of us can believe we are about to start our final week of holiday, it seems to have gone so fast.

There is so much more to see that I suspect we will be planning. return. The downside is that it’s not a cheap place to visit. Must buy a few lottery tickets then…
