Nick hadn't looked down yet
( Moments later he was washed out to sea ) Wanaka, just north of Queenstown. We stopped here for a couple of nights. After whiling away an hour or two in the maze at "Puzzling World" on the first day it was time for the main event - "Canyoning". This involves abseiling, sliding, clambering and jumping your way down steep a steep river canyon. Following a 40 minute uphill walk and tales of bungy horrors abroad .
The photos have been selected carefully to show how much fun we had doing this (the first few show my terror a little too graphically). I only came away with minor flesh wounds to my left hand but it's OK cos Nick can carry my bags, cook, wash up etc.. The Canyon Swing was a piece of cake in comparison at least we weren't responsible for our own lives. But we both completed it and did all the jumps (over 8 metres into small pools), abseils and clambering, without crying once.

I remember Wanaka!
Lovely place. Nice lake. I remember Puzzling World, but not the other bits you mention. Funny that. Happy Christmas!
