Puzzling World, Wānaka (Part 1!)

What a wonderful and fun way to spend the day! It's advertised as Wānaka's Wonderful World of Weirdness and it lives up to this name!! It celebrated its 50th year in 2023 😀😀😀

Six rooms - Glow Safari, Tilted House, Hall of Following Faces, The Ames Illusion Room, Sculptillusion Gallery and Paradox Lane - are designed to challenge the mind (is seeing really believing??!!) and the Great Maze - challenges the mind, the senses, the body and advises that 'the maze is designed to be achievable before total desperation sets in'! I think Trev and I weren't too far off or went beyond it - it was too hot to work out which it was!!

The objective was to find all four towers of green, red, blue and yellow and get to the exit and we found all four towers and the exit! Yay us!!

The cafe even has puzzles on the tables to challenge yourself before, during and after lunch. It was so much fun!!

Afterwards, we made our way into Wānaka and had gelato by the lake and went back to Makarora. On our way to Franz Josef tomorrow.Read more
