Wanaka, puzzles & wine

We liked Wanaka so much that we decided to stay another night. This morning we went to Puzzling World – a great place, full of puzzles and illusions. We started in the large outdoor maze, which said it usually takes 30-60 minutes to solve. We thought it looked pretty straightforward and that we’d be able to do it faster (as does probably everyone who visits) but an hour later we had found all 4 coloured towers successfully yet we were still searching for the exit! After we viewed the indoor exhibits, we stayed for lunch in the café, enabling us to have a go at some of the puzzles that were out on the tables there – great fun. After necessary shopping & laundry, we went back to our campsite, left the car and walked up to the nearby Rippon vineyard. The vineyard setting was amazing, with views right across the lake and mountains – there was a wedding reception going on when we arrived and we agreed it would be an amazing location for a wedding (and no, it wasn’t ours!). We did a wine tasting of 6 different wines whilst we were there and it was a lovely way to end the afternoon.Baca lagi
