Wednesday morning in Fox Glacier was the wettest I have ever experienced. Even opening the car door resulted in a total soaking. So we drove the 200 km or so to Makarora in the gloom.
Makarora wasn't quite an A frame in the wilderness: we were next to the state highway...
Anyway, this morning was bright and sunny. We had a gorgeous run down to Wanaka, which was very smart. Fuelled and bought lunch there, then on to Queenstown: very busy and smart.
We pushed on, having lunch by another gorgeous lake, then to our hotel in Te Anau by mid afternoon, the last 50 km along a deserted highway.
Te Anau is oddly deserted: its not high season: but it seems to be very low season. The shops were cashing up at 4pm.
The hotel is the usual NZ standard. Very clean, well provisioned.
And as I write, it has decided to rain again.
Tomorrow is glowworm caves (!?) and a walk.
