Tuesday 4th December

We thought we'd see what Puzzling World had for us. First there was a two level maze. Each of the four corners had a tower. We were thoroughly lost and after half an hour had only managed to get to one tower. Lucinda was becoming increasingly frustrated and we headed for the emergency exit. Other exhibits included masks that moved to look at us as we moved and rooms of optical illusions. We drove over the mountain pass towards Queenstown. On the way we stopped at Arrowtown. This was based on an old gold mining town but turned out to be a collection of designer shops and coffee bars. We got to our hotel on the lake a few kilometres outside of town. Having checked in we drove to town and dropped off our hire car. Twelve days with a Holden Epica was enough. The hill behind the town is accessed by gondola. We looked at the views while others were bungy jumping or riding on wheeled luges. It was all pretty ghastly. We then went to the cinema to see Skyfall. A taxi boat ride took us across the bay to the hotel.
