    During Easter week,Wanaka Airport is home to a great airshow.You can drive yourself to Wanaka Airport, about 100 kms from Queenstown on State Highway 6.Or you can book a scenic drive through Otago to Wanaka on an Alpine Coach. The coach leaves O'Connells Pavilion at 8:00 AM and returns to Queenstown around 5:00 PM. Whether you self-drive or go by prepaid coach, plan to spend a whole day and be sure to check out the cool Wanaka Air Museum as well. You can find more pictures and information about the annual Warplanes Over Wanaka Airshow in my Otago off the beaten path.

    Wanaka is rated as the best town of my South Island trip. Very beautiful secneries here. There are mountains, lakes and clear blue sky and nice weather. What else could I ask for? In winter, you could go for skiing as there are many good skiing slopes around here. It has a unique cinema Paradiso located at Ardmore Street near the Caltex Station. Go there early and select your favourite seat. I would love to spend a day at The Puzzling World by Stuart Landsborough. This is a very interesting place for all ages. You wil be fascinated by all the Illusions. It is like a mini Science Centre back home.

    Got up late that morning, like always :D, feeling completely refreshed. Since we needed to get internet access in late afternoon, we decided to hang around in the city center. There're rows of cafes right across the lake, but it seemed that the crowd were attracted to something else. Large billboards bearing colorful photographs from around the world with a little description below were lined up along the park. Wait, there's something else..... a few local artists placed blocks of tiles in the park, some sort of "walk of history", dating back from 1800 up to 2007..... Quite an interesting touch. It was still 3 more hours to midday. Got plenty of time in our hands and we decided to spread our blanket on a carpet of fresh lime green grass by the lake. What a great spot! Chilled white wine in a glass, a plate of sliced cheese & smoked salmon. Perfect! We're all set for the afternoon. I've never realized how much I miss the sun. How warm it felt brushing against my skin. Hmm, toasty! Lazying under the afternoon sky, giggling, sprawling, breathing in the breeze coming in from the lake. Aaaahhhh..... Luv spending days like this with you, babe. ** From my posting http://dreaminterlude.blogspot.com
