From Te Anau we drove back up towards Queenstown and Glenorchy.
 |
| The road from Queenstown to Glenorchy is pretty famous, and rightfully so. It was gorgeous, even in cloudy weather. |
 |
| We spent the night in Glenorchy, hoping to hike the Routeburn Track in the morning. I'm pretty sure we ate better in our campervan than we normally eat at home. Grilled lamb, fresh salad greens, local wine... Of course, by now I had broken not one, but two wine glasses, so we were drinking our wine out of the more sturdy water glasses instead. I don't know what my deal was. |
 |
| The next morning the weather wasn't pretty. So we had a leisurely breakfast (what's with the Cheerios in NZ? It's a totally different company!)... |
 |
| Chris did some of his Masters homework. Katelyn helped by keeping that pesky power cord out of the way. (Most of the motorhome parks we stayed in had WiFi... pretty sweet.) |
 |
| And then we drove back out of Glenorchy and spent the day exploring Queenstown. We found this great wine tasting place that took up most of the afternoon. |
 |
| They had hundreds of NZ wines that you could taste. You just inserted your card, and then pressed the button on the wine you wanted to taste. |
 |
We spent the second night in Glenorchy again, hoping that the weather would be good for hiking the following morning. This was right outside of Glenorchy.
 |
 |
| The following morning the weather was good, and we set out to do a day hike on the Routeburn track. We went to the Routeburn Falls Hut and back. |
 |
| Bridges with these signs on them don't inspire a lot of confidence. |
 |
| Stunning view from on the way up towards the Routeburn Falls Hut. |
