Part 5- Wanaka

Queenstown is effectively the place to go in the south island. A busy ski resort and a popular tourinst town, it hosts pretty much all sorts of extreme activities, including white water rafting, bungee jumping or camping out in parking lots! (Guess which one you wont find in tourist guides).

But before we headed on there we stopped off at Wanaka, a lakeside town very highly regarded by Kiwis in general, as the less touristy alternative to queenstown. We hiked up Mt Iron and enjoyed some awesome views.



Funnily enough, atop the mountain we observed this circus- like place, so we thought we’d investigate further. The Puzzling world was a pretty cool park of mazes puzzles and general optical and mind tricks. Pretty cool, but eventually we gave in to temptation and headed off to Queenstown!
