Kia Ora to Germany! How is the weather over there? Can we come back next week or should we wait a bit longer? 😅
11/03/2018: On Sunday, we drove from Wanaka to Queenstown. The lovely Canadians drove us with all our luggage to the bus stop in the city center to save us some time, which was really nice! We didn't have to go far by bus since we planned a one and a half hour stop at the 'Puzzling World', a very crazy museum.
Just as we arrived at the parking lot, a terrible thought crossed my mind. Out of habit, I always put my wallet under my pillow and usually the first thing I do when packing is to grab it. That day, I was pretty sure I had left it at our Airbnb. I quickly asked GoogleMaps how far it was, luckily only half an hour on foot. So instead of going to the museum, I walked back to the Airbnb to pick up my wallet. When I arrived, I saw our host and the Canadian couple standing around my wallet, trying to figure out how they could get it to me. 😄 Everyone was visibly relieved. I quickly drank a sip of water, hugged everyone again, and walked back to the bus for another half an hour. Phew, that was close! 😇 The rest of the journey to Queenstown went smoothly. There was another stop at a very famous bridge where people can do bungee jumps. Sina and I just watched. 😅 Finally arriving in Queenstown, we took a taxi from the city center to our new Airbnb since it was located a bit outside. The Lake Wakatipu, on which Queenstown is situated, has a very funny and elongated shape, so we were still by the lake despite the distance to the city center. Our host lives on a hill right next to the lake and had the brilliant idea of setting up a tent in his garden where we were allowed to sleep for three days. That was soooo cool!
