Wanaka

We arrived in Wanaka yesterday afternoon after a long, tiring day of travelling. Once again, we were booked to do a skydive but once again the weather meant it was cancelled :( (we were starting to think it may be a warning sign from above...). There was a bbq at the hostel where we were staying and we had a good last night with our Kiwi Experience friends before they would be leaving us in the morning.

We had what seemed like a very short night's sleep with a 6 o'clock wake up for our 3rd attemp to skydive. Amy had had a dream that it had been cancelled again and tried to convince me that it wasn't going ahead! However, the sun was shining! We set off for the airstrip, as it finally dawned on us that it was for real this time! And so, after signing our lives away (and money) we jumped onboard, in our groovy clown-like jumpsuits and then jumped straight out again (from 12,000 feet up in the air). Ahhhh! It was an awesome experience and we both wanted to do it again!

We spent the rest of day on a longer than planned walk around the lake and up a higher than planned mountain. We are now exhausted and disappointed with our bargain pack of noodles which we had been looking forward to all day! Oh and it looks as though Amy might be stuck here for another day as there is only one seat free on the bus tomorrow! Another walk perhaps Amy?!
