New Zealand Day 16

So setting off from Te Anau towards lake Tekapo today.  We stopped off at Puzzling World on the way.  Good fun - a massive frustrating maze and lots of illusion rooms and quirky things to look at.

This is only a small section of the maze - which as you can see also incorporates bridges!
Bloody bloody difficult maze - you had to make it to all four corners of the maze and then find the way out.  Apparently takes most people between an hour and an hour and a half to complete, and between 3 and 5 km worth of walking.  We were definitely nearer to an hour and a half and 5 km of walking!

There were 'emergency exits' for those with not much time or who lost patience.  We managed to find our way to all four corners, but we'd had enough by then (an hour and a half or so later) so dodged at the emergency exit :-)

Dad and Christopher cheating!


Me and him


The kids reach one of the corners of the maze.


I'm glad these toilets are only pretend!

A very strange lopsided room - everything was at an angle!

Another strange room - Christopher appears to be taller than Holly and Alex!

Thanks nana!  Christopher chooses his treat from Nana Jo

Three sleeps here at Lake Tekapo - in which we intend to do...well not very much at all!  We've done so many visits and trips out, that we'd just like a quiet couple of days :-)
