Today was another half sightseeing, half travelling day. After saying goodbye for the last time to beautiful Lake Wanaka, we went off to Puzzling World.
After walking some 3km in a maze to get to all 4 corners, we decided we deserved a cappuccino. Then, of course, we needed a quick toilet break. This was set in the Roman bathrooms with separate side doors for gents and ladies.
Then we entered some amazing rooms,starting with the hologram room. Then there was the room of following faces where the walls were concave faces (that looked convex) and as you moved, they turned to keep looking at you. Included with names like Churchill, Mother Theresa and others, was Nelson Mandela. Stunning optical effect.
Then there was a tilted room. The floor was sloping 15 degrees. This meant that water could appear to flow uphill (where the slope was only 11 degrees), a swing stuck out at an angle, and people appeared to be leaning over.
Probably the most fun was what I would like to call “the growing room”. At one end you are quite short and by the time you have walked to the other end, you have grown like Alice.
We finished off in an art and sculpture room.
By the time we had had all this fun, it was lunchtime so we made sausage sandwiches in the car park and then hit the road for Omarama where we will be spending tonight.
