After leaving Queenstown, we headed north to Wanaka,where we stopped at the totally cheezy and totally fun Puzzling World (great for all ages!) and managed to get a photo of Karen and I looking...short! Clearly an optical illusion...
Further northward to the coast, where (shedding our outer layer of Icebreaker), we took in the warmth and beauty of the blue waters and rugged coastline along the way.
