It happened...again

After Wanaka, we headed to Queenstown (which claims to be the adventure capital of the world). On the way we parked our car in an abandoned for the season ski resort to sleep the night. It was a great drive in. It was a Sunday when we arrived and it began to rain. We didn't want to do any of the adventure activities and tried to find something else. We tried the library but being Sunday, it was closed. We went through plan A and B. Finally plan C was a success. We spent the whole day in a bead store. I made jewelry out of the native paua shells. They look great and it was a fun way to spend the day. We were planning on leaving Queenstown but there were other things in store for us. Our car stopped...again. Luckily we were close to a place where they could fix it...so we were spending a night and another day in Queenstown. We had the cutest kiwi fixing our car (in the little brother kind of way). We stayed at a camp ground which was right on a beautiful lake. The next day we walked the 6km to Queenstown. We got the best ice cream and Sara found her yarn store! Another thing to check off of the list. Our car got fixed and we headed to Te Anau to start our trek on the Kepler the next day. We arrived late in Te Anau and everywhere we went there were signs that said no sleeping here in your car so we found a street with houses on it and slept in someones front yard. Oh the crazy things you do when you travel!
