Yet again i tried to book a scneic flight butno avail because of the weather. I also thought I should make a move to franz joseph as decided not to do the snow boarding as I would spend a good 3 days learning, any less wouldn't be worth it so I will leave that for a proper snow boarding holiday and head for the glaciers. Problem being the hasst pass is shut beacuse of snow and they won't know until 2. There is no other way there either.
So i go and do puzzel world. Itr's this place where everything is based on puzzels. You get a room with holograms in. Then there's this really really weird room where there are hundreds of faces all in rows. They are of famous people looking at you from different angles. For example there are 4 eisntiens across and 4 down (16 total) they all look at you from various angles. The ones on the top face down and the ones below face up etc. You walk to about a foot away from them and cover one eye with your hand. As you move round the faces follow you. Its brilliant but weird.
Next room was done at an angle so water would travle up hill, a ball would go up hioll and a stammer lift would also go up stairs....without an enguine. That room made me feel sick.
Next I did an outside maze that was 3 dimensions and bridges and towers. You are supposed to find 4 towers in sequence then you way out. Well I did the 4 towers quick then couldn't find my way out. After 2 hrs I was getting frustraited your suppossed to do it in 1.5 hrs. Okay I cheated! I had to see if the haast pass was clear.
I went fgor a hot choclate, bumped into john made my exscuses and went to find out about the pass. Yes its open but snow chains are needed. Yeah.... no john I can leave....no....snow chains yuck.
Well it was scary but only a little bit where the snow had built up. No one else used snow chains so I didn't bother. So i did the pass then the heavens opened. All the way to fox glacier which i reached in pitch blackness in sheet rain at 7.30pm.
At this point i am going down with a cold so treated myself to a nice warm room and a good meal. Roast pork yummy. I watched outback jack another reality tv show where this outback aussie (who is quite cute but i think a bit thick) get to choose or fall in love with one of 12 women. It's an elimination process. God all these blond american bimbos with colegen implants are mad about him. He goes on individual dates and snogs each one telling them they are special and they fall for it. God dumb blondes or what. Well the brunette had the balls to sneak into his room the night before. Anyway just as he's going to eliminate one they are all given a choice of 2 weeks all expenses paid in the grabnd hotel in perth. If they want facials or what ever they can have it for two weeks. They are out of the competition. Nopt one of them gave in as they thought they could have a real romance with jack back in the outback. What baloney has TV gone mad.
