Since I have given up the idea of making collage out of all the pictures, maybe I can finish the Middle Earth much faster....hehehehe...I wish!! So expect loads of pictures and less words (sama tema kita ye Cik Aida? :P)
After the hike, we got back to the guiding company and we were famished. Since Franz Josef is a small town, there were not a lot choice for lunch. We settle in Cafe Neve, and ordered some large serving of seafood pizza and salmon sandwich.
 |
| The whole town is just one main road, seriously. Opposite the cafe was the guiding company. |
 |
| Of course we did not finished the meal.....tapau..!! |
 |
| Malaysia's lowest RON is 95, we no longer have 92. Are we moving too fast? |
After fueling up, we head to our next destination, Wanaka. Estimated time to reach there was 4 hours, but as always, we got there much later :P
 |
| Going a bit south and to the middle now |
There were quite a lot of look out point along the way. We just have to stop and take pictures. :D
 |
| This one is at Knight's Point |
 |
| The water...makes me wanna jump in!! Nasib baik tak pandai berenang :) |
 |
| First glimpse of Lake Wanaka area |
We thought we are getting there, but we were actually quite a fair bit further from the original destination. Little did we know that Lake Wanaka is the 4th largest lake in New Zealand. The area covered was 192 km2 (compared to KL, area covered 243 km2). The whole lake kecik sikit je dari KL..hahahaha... we almost did not see the end of the lake, it was as far as the eye could see.
We did stopped at few points to take pictures of course!! My travel buddies were obsessed in getting the 100th perfect FB profile pictures that at times I was soooo irritated. But anyhoo...layan je la...this shot was taken by yours truly, it was windy and despite the fact that its messy, I like it ;)

| gambar profile FB ke 125!! |
Throughout the drive, Lake Wanaka was always on our right. Suddenly we were greeted with the same breath taking view on our left. At first we thought it was still Lake Wanaka, but it was actually Lake Hawea.
We finally reached Wanaka around 8pm. Check into the hotel, but this time around no cooking facilities, but no sweat, we still have loads of leftovers from lunch ;)
 |
| View from the room, that is the end of Lake Wanaka |

| The rest of the hotel |
We crashed to a good night sleep, though Wanaka is a bit hotter (compared to Franz Josef)
