On route to Arrowtown we stopped off for lunch in Wanaka & afterwards went to Puzzleland, it's a place that's all about messing with your mind.... it's class. We bothy did the 3-D mazwe. The goal: get to the four corner towers then find your way to the exit. It looks much easier than it is and while it wa very frustrating, continuously finding ourselves at yet another dead end it was great fun too. Arrowtown was another surprise, we really didn't know anything about the place before arriving, if you took the cars off the main street you rally would believe you had been sent back in time 150 years to a genuine gold diggin' wild west town. So, instead it feels like you've stepped onto a movie or perhaps a Disney themepark. Bottom line, it's a quaint Little village where every house has a little plaque over the door stating " this building is protected". The previous as we had been driving to Arrowtown we had passed the AJ Hackett Kawarau Bridge bungy jump. Th home of bungy, the worlds first full time bungy site. No trip to this neck of the woods would be complete without first watching a few maniacs through themselves off a perfectly good bridge. There were tandem jumpers, naked jumpers, screamers, mutes, you name it all paying $160 for a 10 second buzz. It was fun nto watch but neither off us were enticed to give it a go. Instead we drove to Queenstown for a look see. I can't imagine anyone comes to NZ South Island without stopping off at Queenstown. The place was buzzing. Feeling peckish we had an infamous Ferg Burger. After spending the afternoon in QT we returned to the more subdued atmosphere of Arrowtown. We would be back in this area in a few days time but for now it was time to head for Te Anua.
