Best value museum visit<\/p>\n

So you don’t think you’ve seen them all !\u00a0 I refer to the Wanaka Transport and Tour Museum, in the New Zealand town of Wanaka. It is the most brilliant display, with more than 40,000 pieces of memorabilia.\u00a0 Ranging from Russian jets, to a Barbie collection of more than 500 pieces. It’s a good deal, five huge hangars of items and just $10 admission. Without doubt, the best I’ve seen.\u00a0 Nearby Lake Wanaka is also\u00a0 one heck of a place to visit.\u00a0 As is the Edgewater Resort.\u00a0 Not to be missed.<\/p>\n
