After jumping out of a perfectly fine plane, we went back to the town center for brunch. After walking up and down the street several times and looking at all the cafes, we decided to stop here! We ordered just a big breakfast and shared it! The serving was humongous! There's eggs, sausages, bacon, beans, mushrooms, hash and toast! All for only NZ$21!
After brunch, we were walking along the street towards the lake and we chanced upon this small little fish and chips shop. We grabbed a bag (or rather a newspaper wrap) of fresh lemon sole and chips! The fish was fresh with a hint of vinegar in the fish and chips!
As usual, the portion was way too big. We brought the entire pack to the lakeside and sat there eating the fish and tossing left overs to seagulls, birds and ducks!

We wanted to stay by the lake (or as close to it as possible). We had two options, one was a Top 10 Holiday Park and another was this. We knew Top 10 have one of the best facilities, packed with people, and bound to be slightly more expensive. However, Lake Outlet had one thing Top 10 didn't have.
The View.

| What a view to wake up to |
Lake Outlet is located right on the shores of the lake. After breakfast, we'll walk along the shores of the lake and the water is so clear that we literally could see fishes swimming in it. This HP is also very secluded as you have to drive a distance from Lake Wanaka Village/Town Center and a deep drive from the main road as well.
Being so far away from the town center, the sky is not polluted with urban lights and street lamps. You could see a million starts right above you at night. That being said, walking to the toilet can be quite a challenge at night. That's when you pull out our handy-dandy head lamp. Yes. Gilbert actually brought that along.
I scoffed at him initially as he was being too dramatic and over the top. Guess he is just a more experienced camper than I am.

If you know me, I've sky dived in Vegas back in 2012 at a third of the price as compared to here in NZ. I must say that the money was well spent as the view is amazing. We also did it because it was Gilbert's first time and we wanted to do it together!
We were in some cafe along the highway at a toilet break and chanced upon Skydive Wanaka's brochure. We grabbed it and called up their office once we were at Lake Wanaka! They told us to call back the next morning to check with them what time we can head out. Flights are scheduled depending on the weather.
It was a short 10 mins drive from Lake Outlet HP to the airport and after a short briefing video, we were in jumpsuits and walking up the plane! Watch the video for more!
