Week 5 29/09-07/10
Haast to Te Anue
we spent a night in haast (quietest town we have visited) and drove out to jacksons bay but the weather meant i was the only one to get out of the car and 4 photos later i jumped straight back in!
from here we carried on to wanaka and the purple cow hostel. we only intended to stay a couple of nights but after falling in love with the town we ended up staying a week!
i spent plenty of time walking in town, round the lake and reading. we also had a fun afternoon in puzzelworld, racing around a maze trying to beat each other out (pushing little kids out of the way type thing!!)
had a very good night in an indie bar with people from the hostel drinking shots from a teapot!
we left wanaka for te anue. from here we did our milford sounds kayaking trip. the drive from te anue is stunning but has a huge risk of avalaches - which makes it interesting!
we got to kayak on the sounds for 5 hours and it was amazing even though all of the wildlife hid from us!
we stopped a couple of times on our way back to te anue. first at an amazing chasm, then at some small mirror lakes and finally for a hot drinkl on k*** flat!!
we spent another day in te anue - hoping to check out the town but the weather was sooo bad we took over the tv room, made beds from chairs, brought in our sleeping bags and hired dvds!
