Good morning. I hope you all had a good sleep. We are now heading for Wanaka. We arrive at the first destination, Puzzling World at 9.30. The first puzzling thing which welcomes you is the Leaning Tower. When you get inside the spacious café, you will find yourself among various wooden puzzles and games. The Illusion Room is a must-see as there’s nothing else like it in the world. Puzzling World is possibly the most photographed attraction in New Zealand.
At 12.30 we leave for Lake Wanaka, New Zealand’s fourth largest lake. This ‘natural paradise’ has something for everyone. Adventure lovers may follow the biking and walking tracks through the park. Relaxation seekers may stay by the lake, taking a boat ride, or just sitting and watching its changing beauty. We meet up at 4 o’clock and the bus leaves at exactly 4.15. I hope…

This is the schedule for my two-day visit to Washington D.C. On the first day we plan to go to the White House early at 8 o`clock. This way, we avoid the crowds. Then we get on a Hop-on Hop-off trolley, which rides around the city. We do some shopping and go for a nice lunch. Then we see some of the sights of the city. On the second day, we take the 8.30 shuttle bus to the canoe club to join a canoe trip along the C&O canal. This canal is famous for its beautiful scenery, especially in autumn.
