Our journey to Wananka was made all the more enjoyable by a stop at the Bushman Centre. Whilst there some of us saw the deerhunters museum which involved seeing a video of guys jumping out of helicopters to wrestle deer to the ground.

The stop in Wanaka was a chance to celebrate two birthdays by going for an Indian and having one or two beers that evening. Wanaka has been described as Queenstowns' little sister and is growing in popularity with serious skiers and boarders.
Queenstown is a fantastic place - as anyone who has been there will agree. Apparently there are over 600 activites on offer there and the place is rammed full of cool bars and clubs.

I decided to walk off any signs of a hangover the following day by climbing a hill to gain a fantastic view of the Remarkables mountain range which lived up to their name.
