3rd Jan 2011. Left Franz Joseph going south to Wanaka. The rain was still falling all morning but it made the journey quite spectacular. Amazing waterfalls so cascading onto the road. We stopped lots of times for photos. By the afternoon the rain stopped and the sun came out revealing the stunning mountainous scenery once again. New Zealand is very stunning. We got to Wanaka mid afternoon and kayaked on the lake for an hour. Then Katie decided this would be the place for a skydive so we booked it up for the following morning at 8am, not choice on time because of the backlog of cancellations due to the weather. Stayed at Base Hostel, bumped into Tom and Dom AGAIN! Got an early night, lulled to sleep by the typically soothing Base bass! and oh yes it was kareoke night
