Stuart Landsborough's Puzzling World Wanaka

So after thoroughly enjoying Queenstown this time around off I go to nearby Wanaka, the quiter, more chilled out little sibling of QT, but before that I stop at picturesque Arrowtown to check out two Lord of the Rings locations; the Fords of Bruinen and the Gladden Fields, and the Chinese Mining settlement. I have just over an hours drive to Wanaka …

Credit for this day shall all go to Kate for she has selected the activities. And to start this blog I will recite some Kate classics from the last couple of nights.

"Urgh..Urgh...How do I get out?!" She exclaimed in marginal panic on awaking half way through the night.

It wasn't a good start to the day, at 8am a man knocked on the van asking for camp fees...and being organised obviously we had the cash, well we thought we did...but it turns out that we had spent it! Oops... So we promised to bring it back later and got up!

It was about a 15 minute drive into Wanaka... The place was pretty cool, a huge …

In our last night in Wanaka we had intended to go the cinema there, which is meant to be pretty cool... you can sit in cars that have been sawed in half and filled with cushions, and they serve warm cookies in the interval... but we didn't actually make it. Some of the guys in the hostel had a movie called 'The Edge' to watch. Shocking. It starred …

We had a long drive to ensure we reach Queenstown. We made a breakfast stop at Hobnob.cafe (Fox Glacier). Tamara had a 'good feeling' for this place. How does one get that anyway? Well her feeling was excellent as this was the best breakfast we have had. All our dishes were prepared well and the taste was super (I had a Bubbling Sqeek). We were so …

As part of a mission to burn off a few of the calories we'd piled on during Christmas Day we decided to give ourselves a physical and mental "workout" by walking the 4km from our campsite to Puzzling World in the midday sun, very English. Puzzling World seemed like a good mental workout for the brain, but was more likely to further confuse them …

The beginning of our final week or so in New Zealand was less than pleasant as we had to wake up at 6am, after only 3 hours sleep, to catch our ferry across to the South Island. Worst still the ferry was delayed by around 2 hours. The only saving grace was the fantastic offering of fried breakfast that they offered once we finally got on board. Our …

Ok so 5 months of blogging is too much here so I will pop up a link for my facebook notes where my blog has been posted http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= 747778662&sk=notes

Thank you and enjoy!

Hi... So we woke up this morning to a rainy day (again!).. The plan for this morning was to hike up to Mt Iron, have breakfast up there while enjoying the awesome view people raved of!
