Day 8- Wanaka
We woke up outside of Haast and drove south to Wanaka. Before we got into town we saw a sign for Puzzle World and decided to check it out. It was awesome! We went through a room of 3d holograms, a tilted room that made all the furniture look level so that we couldnt keep our balance and were falling all over the place, and an optical illusion that demonstrates how they made the hobbits look so small while filming in the first movie. There was also a really hard maze that we only cheated in a little bit to escape:)
Later on we ate lunch by the lake and watched silly tourists ride around on paddle boats shaped like tractors and push each other into the freezing cold water. Then we found the local cinema to check out movie times and discovered they had homemade icecream! I got cinnamin and honey flavored ice cream that was soooo good it left one of those delicious films on the top of my mouth:)
After we found the info center Jenny and Leah decided it was time. They were gonna go skydiving. I went with them to the airport and took pictures of them floating down like dots from the sky. It was pretty awesome to watch and they were happy cuz they didnt have to pay a million dollars to get their pictures taken.
After that crazy adventure we decided to go see Run Fatboy Run at the Cinema Paradiso in town. Its a really cute cinema with couches and even a car with seats you can sit in. It had really funny commercials before the movie that really could only be made in New Zealand. lol There was one with a guy that made shadow puppets on the screen that was really great. Anyways, the movie was pretty funny and I'd say it was an all around good night. Nothing can go wrong when I've got some popcorn and raisinettes!
