Someone's turning 30 (part 5)


Here is a shot of the ocean on the way up to Fox and Franz Joseph glaciers. We were getting attacked by some mozzies (mosquitos) and we had to get back to the car shortly after this picture.... definitely worth the shot though. We attempted to take the glacier tours, but avalanches had covered the roads and made it difficult to pass (although this looks more like a tropical island). We decided to spend an extra day in Christchurch since we didn't get to see much of it on our first day.




We pulled over and went through a 5-minute forest trek to get this shot. We tried to get a shot where it appeared we were drinking straight from the waterfall, but none of them came out quite right.









One of my favourite places on our trip was the Puzzling World in Wanaka. It had heaps of logic puzzles to attempt and illusion rooms to observe. Below we are both in the same room and an onlooker to a photo of us through the bars of the room. There was also a hall of faces which followed you as you walked around the room even though they were inanimate objects. It was pretty creepy although the video we took did not do it any justice...it was awesome (not included)! We also got a video below of Sharpie rolling a pool ball down the table only to have it come back to her- we could've spent all day there. We also performed a maze which took us 1.25 hours to complete. We were pretty proud of ourselves although we didn't perform the maze in the correct order.

Hey Cory and Olga.
My name is Carole Calkins and I worked with Cory at First Magnus, in Tucson.
LundyLand is AMAZING! Looks like great FUN! I remember Cory didn't like having to be away from Olga so much, when he was in Tucson!
I was hoping to be able to get in touch with you email: carolecalkins@comcast.net
