Road-trips and camping require flexibility. Thankfully, Chris and I are a dynamic duo, boasting the superpower of being adaptable.
It was rainy and cold yesterday and today, making us flex our flex muscles. While looking for campsites, we decided our best bet was a not-so pretty campsite, but one with a shelter area for us to cook dinner, keeping us out of the downpour. Our tummies were full, bed made, and we were cuddled up by 6:30, sleeping till 5:00 am! We consider ourselves to be fully acclimated to New Zealand time now!
We hiked several trails in the rain today. Why buy raincoats and waterpoof hiking boots if we’re not going to use them, right?! Since we were up so early, we were on our first trail by 7:00 am! As only New Zealand can do, there is no way a rainstorm can spoil the views of this gorgeous land. The rain simply made it glow all the more! We kept expecting Frodo, Aragon, or Legolas to peek their heads out of the forests on our hikes!
Stayed tuned for our next adventure: it should be a good one!
