We book into the lodge on arrival and enjoy the creature comfort of a full size bed and bathroom but most of all WH gets to watch North vs South on the TV. Not sure the last time we went 5 days without TV and one of the best things was no news. With no TV, limited wifi, playlists on the radio it’s been great to get away quite literally and forget or at least not be reminded every hour about COVID and yes we still washed our hands.
We woke to lots of rain and decided to have a slow start to the day in the hope that it cleared enough so that We would not get drenched. The waterfalls spilling down the cliffs were spectacular but difficult to photograph dues to the lack of light. When the rain calmed a bit and I stepped outside to try and take a pic of the waterfalls we were Greeted by a Kea. Feeling really blessed.
We head for Queenstown knowing it’s going to take all day as we had lots of places to stop and enjoy the view. Check them out below.
well that’s about the end of the road for this trip anyway. I Feel really hurried in my blog as I know once home tomorrow I wont get to write again even though I tell myself now that I will come back to it and edit I know it’s a watery promise.
I Can’t say that we saved the best to last as the beginning middle and end were all brilliant. From Aoraki Mt Cook I felt we were witnessing a true Taonga and that continued through out the whole trip. A treasured journey it will always be.
