south island cont.....

Wanaka was one of the places we were both looking forward to from when we started planning where to go in New Zealand, and our 1st stop was Puzzling World... which as the name suggests was full of illusions and puzzles. So after watching pool balls and water moving uphill and turning ourselves into giants and midgets in the same room we headed out to chalange the Great Maze... with over 1.5km of passages. Having been truely beaten at the last maze i was hopeing for a better performance but arlene is too fabulous and won AGAIN!!!:) In the afternoon we went to Have A Shot, where we played the worlds only Cro Pool, which is basically a big pool table on the ground but instead of pool cues u use croquet hammers n balls. After a 3 nil defeat from arlene i decided to try and salvage some pride on the rifle range, which i did....just.
That night we took a trip down to the local cinema, which unlike any other cinema it has sofas and lazyboys instead of ur usual bum numbing seats, or if u fancy u can take a seat in there 4 seater car. They have an interval half way through the film where u can purchase pizza, chips, ice cream n drinks(hot, cold, or alcoholic) and take them back in with u for the second half.... which did feel a bit funny scoffing down pizza and beer whilst watching a film called Hunger.

Next we were off to Milford sound, voted the no.1 thing to do in New Zealand, after boarding a boat to take us into the fjord we felt a little disappointed as the views were quite similar to the ferry crossing..... that was until we saw the dolphins. A pod of dolphins swam right up to the boat then spent 15 minutes swimming at the bow, jumping and diving, and generally playing before our eyes. It was such a awe inspiring sight to see them in the wild. Sweet as... Kiwi for Amazing.
