Day 355: Arthurs Pass Sadness

Original plan was to do a 5-7 hour hike up into Arthur’s Pass, but the weather was not compliant. We drove into the National Park and found a cozy cafe to wait out the rain. We read and also played Hollow Knight.

Sadly, it steadily poured from 10am to 6pm. We were able to sneak it a little hike at Devils Punchbowl Waterfall at 6 pm, but it was only an hour.

We had also made plans to camp in Arthur’s Pass, but the campsite was very wet, next to the highway, and we realized we left our cooler at the Forest Lodge so no food.

We found a hostel 2.5 hours away and made our way there, arriving at 10pm. The host was amazing and offered to cook us fish and chips. We declined, but he made us feel right at home. Our room was decorated with an excellent 90s comforter.
