Day 4: Twizel - Queenstown

It has been 2 mths since i blogged about NZ. Ya ampun sori yer kpd siapa yg ternanti-nanti tuh, mmg malas yg amat nk mengarang. Anak2 tgh ujian, mak pak pun turut serta bz :) So lets continue with Day 4.

Our routes for Day 4:
Twizel - Omarama - Wanaka- Cromwell - Queenstown.
Total distance approx 253km.

List of attractions:

1. Twizel - High Country Salmon
Very interesting! We got to feed the salmon for free, kids siap ulang-alik pegi amik makanan free tu tanpa segan silu :) There is a small cafe adjacent the salmon farm, which sells varieties of fresh salmon to the visitors. Hubby picked a small container of cold smoked salmon, $12. I am not a fan of sushi, this is my 1st time eating raw salmon but surprisingly it tastes delish!! mmg wajib beli kesimpulannya. Even our kids loved them.

2. Lake Ohau
We stopped here on our way to Wanaka. I assume this lake is not so famous, hence very few cars spotted on the highway. We even got to pose right in the center of the highway, tanpa segan silu :p

3. Lindis Pass
One of the most scenic view exists in South Island. Memang cantik sangat, tak dpt digambarkan. Bukit bukau yg berbalam dek pancaran sinar matahari, bunga kuning (rasanye rapeseed) merata-rata atas bukit, dan awan biru yg sangat cantikkk susah nak dpt kat KL! I even wondered why the sky in KL looks so pale dan kurang menyerlah as compared to NZ...maybe sebab pencemaran yg berleluasa kot?

4. Lake Wanaka
We arrived here around 12noon, matahari mmg tegak atas kepala but it was so windy and cool to the extend we decided to just have our packed lunch inside the car rather than sitting on a bench nearby the lake. Rasa nak terbang pon ada masa keluar dari kereta masa tu. Settle lunch, as usual amik gambar tepi lake, kids main baling2 batu. Mata ni puas melilau cari 'that wanaka tree yg glamer tu' tapi tak jumpa!! Tasik tu luas, maybe kena duduk kat spot yg lain baru bole jumpa 'that lonely wanaka tree'.

5. Puzzling World
Tempat wajib singgah di Wanaka, about 2km from Lake Wanaka. We bought the family pass combo deal $61 for entry to both the Illusions Room and Great Maze. Illusion Room tu mmg bole wat org pening pala, Ida Mizie sampai nak termuntah bila masuk dlm tu hehe. Bestla jugak Illusion Room ni, okla something different yg takde kat Mesia. Great Maze mmg hampeh, kami cam biasa tak berjaya nk khatam even 1 route, mmg fail sungguh bab maze nih! Dahla panas giler, carry si Irfan tu lagi, adoi macam nk patah pinggang. Last2 kami decide utk exit ikut Emergency Door hihi. Kids berpecah, sukahati berlari-larian dgn geng2 derang, ada yg berjaya...ada yg main tipu gak cam makpak depa :p Lepas berputus asa tak jumpa jln keluar, kami beramai2 kumpul kat luar tu utk amik group photo. Kebetulan kat sini ramai family yg berkumpul, so apelagi....group photo plsss! Mujur ramai photog professional yg ada dlm group kami :)

ok this is long enough already. I shall continue to blog about Queenstown in the next entry, till then!
