Wanaka

Heute morgen ging es - mal wieder bei schönstem Wetter - erstmal nach Arrowtown, einer weiteren Goldgräberstadt. Hier gibt es noch ziemlich viele der alten - restaurierten - Gebäude zu sehen. Leider wird das Straßenbild von Autos verschandelt. Nach diesem Abstecher sind wir über...

Last time in Queenstown, for real this time

We finally left Ron and Mel’s House today to continue exploring the south Island. It was hard to leave as we have had such an amazing time here! So after sad goodbyes we headed back to Queenstown and this time for the final time to pick up and drop off a couple of things at Justine’s...

Paragliding and 4 wheel driving

Got up at 7ish and quickly packed up what we needed for the day before heading to the lake with the guys. Unfortunately it was too windy for the course so it was aborted after a few hours of waiting. We then decided to go on a 4WD tour around the lake which was amazing and...

Haast Pass + Wanaka

Die naechsten Tage verbrachten wir grosstenteils mit Wanderungen. Der sogenannte Haast Pass am Ende der Westkueste offenbarte uns sagenhafte Erinnerungen . In Wanaka stiegen wir auf Mt. Rob Roy. Das Wetter spielte mit und auf dem Gipfel hatten wir eine 360 Grad Panorama Aussicht.

Canyoning

I went canyoning today and it was awesome! That could be a succinct and apt blog entry, but anyway... For $225 I got the pleasure of a thirty-minute drive in a rickety van along an unsealed road (complete with flocks of suicidal sheep), with three other travellers (two Aussie guys and a...

not much!

I spent today and yesterday chilling by the lake, on a little beach on the side of the lake nearest the Wanaka Bakpaka, wandering around the lake, climbing Mount Iron - the highest point in Wanaka town, and apparently one of the area's short and easy walks - it's incredibly steep and felt...

Rock!

Rock-climbing today, and the weather's perfect. Sunny, very little wind, clear skies (well, the views are important too). I get some unexpected private tuition for the first hour or so; the others in my group are stranded with car trouble in Queenstown, so the instructor Dave drives me out to...

Wanaka!

Five hours on the bus brings me to Wanaka - one of the places I've been most looking forward to visiting on my trip to NZ! On the way we stop as Lake Matheson, for stunning views of the Tasman and Cook mountains reflected in it's waters, wreathed in early morning (well, it's about half eight)...

South Island Day 7: Wanaka; Nice Place, Shame About The Name

The next day we drove to the unfortunately named Wanaka as the sandflies tried to have a Nom A Pom party in my car. But here's one thing about Wanaka, it's fucking beautiful to drive into. It's surrounded by mountains and its right next to a lake, the scenery is stunning and we'd decided to do...
