POURING rain pounding on the camper roof seems to be nature’s alarm clock. By 10am the rain was tolerable and with our full REI raingear to keep us dry, we walked down to city center. Everyone downtown was loading up on the Adrenalin buses heading off to experience some new death-defying activity. Last time I bungy jumped off the Auckland Bridge, so no need to do it again.
After some window shopping, we walked back to the camper and just made it before the next downpour hit. This type of rain is so heavy, there’s not much you can do but stay inside and read. Also, Matt’s not able to fly us around today because of weather. That’s a real bummer, because we were both looking forward to that. Finally we got a break in the rain and went up the Gondola and stopped at the cemetery along the way. The headstones date back to the early 1800s. The top of the gondola had great views of the mountains, lake, town and bungy jumpers. The weather was changing so quickly up top that it was like watching time-lapsed photography. I got a rainbow though! By the time we came down, the rain had returned. Back in the camper we packed and had our last meal of what food was left…ham & cheese sandwiches with peaches. Tomorrow we pack up the camper and head home. However, we might be able to sneak one last adventure tomorrow morning if the weather cooperates.
