From Franz Josef we set out early (too early for me) to Wanaka. The latter is a picturesque town nestled in the Southern Alps, described as Queenstown before it became so commercial.
We stayed at Wanaka Hotel, that has a few dorms at the back of the hotel set aside for backpackers. We all got rather excited when we found we had a TV, balcony, en-suite and mini-fridge in our room. Ah such heady delights. Unfortunately the photo's I have don't really do Wanaka justice, but for anyone heading to the South Island I would highly recommend a stay in Wanaka.
Wanaka Lake
The main attraction beside Wanaka Lake is Puzzling World. They have the world's only two level maze, which we ran about, until we found it was actually really hard to reach all the corners, the object of the maze.

The toilets...
They also have "illusion rooms", with slanting floors and 3-d portraits, that make your head spin. Outside Puzzle World, there are lopsided building, just waiting for ridiculous photo's to be taken.
