Wanaka

Wanaka is lovely. It's a friendly little ski resort town in a rural area with an international population (in winter probably not so much in summer). It has posh little coffee shops jostling up against huntin' fishin and shootin stores. The bakery sells great coffee and there are some wonderful little restaurants.
The park by the lake has a dinosaur slide and lots of swings, slides and so on so it gets the boy's vote too. Ya went a little crazy on the slide. He perfected sliding down backwards on his back - luckily there was no drop at the end so he just whizzed across the plastic mat onto the wood chips.



















































































On our last day we visited Puzzling World. We got hopelessly lost in the maze. We found all the corners but the exit defeated us so eventually we just used one of the cheat's exits.
























Y shows the way.
