Day 164 - Queenstown, New Zealand
Day 164 – 19th November 2005 +13:00 GMT Total Miles 29163
Today we decided we would drive up to Wanaka, so when we were all up and ready we drove south towards Wanaka. Just before we reached Wanaka we stopped at the Bra fence. A few years ago the locals woke up one morning and found loads of bra’s hanging on the fence and ever since the number of bra’s grows every week. No one knows how it started. The fence is covered for around 300 metres now.

Soon afterwards we arrived in Wanaka and went to Stuart Landsborough’s puzzling world.
Me at Puzzling World
They were having a power cut at the time so we started on the outdoor maze which has high fences and several bridges. We set ourselves the hard task which is to visit each of the four towers in the correct order. We achieved this after about an hour which was good timing.
The Maze
We then tried some of the table puzzles before getting food from the café. Each table in the café has about half a dozen puzzles and games on then for you to try.
The Roman Toilets
We then entered the main museum which starts of with a hall of holograms, then you enter a room of faces and as you walk around each faces follows you.
The Room of Faces
Next was the anti-gravity room where water flows upwards and the snooker tables balls go uphill etc.

Then we visited a strange room which if you stand at one end of the room you look really small and at the other end you look like a giant.

We spent several hours here before leaving it was well worth the £4 entry. We then drove down to Wanaka lake as it was gorgeous with the sun shining and snow covered mountains in the background.

We got back to the hostel around 5:30pm and cooked some food and relaxed for a while. I went down the pub with a couple of guys from the hostel for a couple of hours, we visited winnies were the beer was only $2 a pint then onto the Rattlesnake. Got back to the hostel around midnight and went to bed.
