Our 1st tea break stop, Salmon fish farm. They sold salmon sandwich which I never tried. It was actually a cafe with small salmon fish farm beside.

Not sure why I wrote "Te Wahipounamu" in my notes...

↓ Some Japanese tour mate took for us...He must have think we spoilt the nice scenary thats why we were so small at the corner. There's another he took worse!
↓ Our hostel below at Wanaka. Like chalet, 2 room when entered, shared kitchen and toilet. Housed 4 pax.
ie, 2 twin room, 1 kitchen, 1 living room, 1 toilet.
We shared the room with 2 "ang moh"
We had problem locating our hostel. Some gal saw us looking at the map and she offered to help. Though she did not give us much clue, she is not sure herself, but at least we appreciate it. Managed to find the hostel on our own anyway.

From a peaceful, quiet Fox Glacier to Wanaka which was more happening as people passed by here as they wanted to go ski. Ski was not in my plan as me and my friend would consider to be learner and we had to sign up for 1/2 day course or so to learn ski. I believe there were lesson available but I was just lazy to search for that.
