New Zealand - Wanaka

From Fox Glacier, we took about a 3.5 hour drive via Haast Pass to Wanaka. Scenery was the usual mountains & lakes.

Our first stop at Wanaka was Stuart Landsborough Puzzling World. This was the 1st highlight of our trip, and with the slanted room and all, it was really quite fun.


And the next best part was the lovely hotel that we were going to put up for the night. The view from our room overlooking Lake Wanaka was amazing and JD had a great time running around in the garden, picking up the golden maple leaves that were falling this autumn.



And to think that I had almost wanted to give this place a miss to head straight to Queenstown! It was definitely the right decision to rest here for the night :)
