Day 4 – Wanaka
Wanaka and surrounds are just unreasonably beautiful. The lake is also home to the most Instagram-famous plant, #ThatWanakaTree.
The main activity today was rock climbing. We took ourselves off to a nearby waterfall canyon where a “via ferrata” climbing route has been established.
After the triumphant top-out and victory brownies, we headed back to town to chill a bit.
After a coffee and snack, we hit the road towards Queenstown. Cue more picturesque mountain passes.
We found our accommodation, moved in, and admired the gorgeous view over the lake.
Dinner options in town are many and bountiful. We chose correctly: Mexican, at Margo’s. They served us up a delicious dinner, especially the mushroom tacos.
Thus satiated, we headed back home for bed. Tomorrow should be a big day.
