This morning we climbed Mr. Iron. It was supposed to be about a hour and half climb, which turned out to be just right. The climb up seemed to take forever, up,up,up and up! But the view once we got to the top was stunning. 360 degrees of beautiful snow-peaked mountains!
Then it was down, down, down and more down before we finished the loop- just in time for the rain to come in. We dashed across the street to Puzzlingworld. Enter a realm of optical illusions, holographic pictures, a room filled with faces that watched your every more, and a magical room that made one person a giant, and the other a midget, and yet another room in which gravity didn't seem to exist!
After a quick visit to the roman style toilets we were off to conquer the maze! Or, let the maze conquer us.

| Getting a little desperate |
This two story maze took us 45 minutes to find the 4 corner towers and then the exit. We had lots of fun joking and laughing with our fellow maze runners, though helping others was expressly forbidden.
After a quick lunch at our hostel(mm, more PB&J!) we headed out to the Paradiso Cinema to watch Going the Distance. The attraction wasn't for the mediocre movie. But rather, the warm, homemade cookies, and the homemade ice cream served during intermission. Plus the big comfy couches instead of movie-theater seats was definitely a perk.This tiny theater was well worth the mundane movie.
Finally we ended our evening, our last one on this trip, by watching the sunset over Wanaka Lake.
