| At Wanaka's Puzzling World |
The next morning began with a fun activity at
Wanaka’s Puzzling World. We started off
with a tour through spaces full of optical illusions, which included the
distorted Ames room, a hologram hall, a gallery of sculptural illusions, and a
tilted house that messed with our brains and left us feeling a bit dizzy.

We then continued on to a large and very well
constructed maze where we walked about 3km in zigzag lines before we finally
solved the puzzle and found the exit.
 |
| Somewhere in the hills between Wanaka and Queenstown |
From there our trip continued past Queenstown
and Lake Wakatipu to the town of Te Anau at the shore of New Zealand’s second
largest lake that bears the same name.

Off Te Anau Lake’s main body are three inland fiord arms that reach deep between the surrounding mountains.
Much of the lake lies within Fiordland National Park and the Te
Wahipounamu World Heritage site.
 |
| On the Kepler Track. New Zealand's Great Walks are exceptionally well built and maintained. |
After checking into our hotel we went for a
walk along the first section of the 60km Kepler Track, another one of New
Zealand’s nine Great Walks.
It would be
fun to one day return and run the Kepler Track, perhaps as part of the Annual
Kepler Challenge ultra marathon.
