After a fair bit of fighting and trying to find the peanut butter and one flat battery we hit our stride in the camper.
My favourite thing is pulling over and hopping into bed for a nap. Curtains closed, familiar pillow, boom love it.
Second favourite is hopping out for adventures.
This canyon was unmarked but I noticed a few people pulled over and saw someone wading up the creek.
Amazing spot! We all got wet. Our feet were numb and once again our cold tub training came in handy as the kids danced past 20 year old influencers tiptoeing up the canyon to try (and fail) to get their waterfall shot.
Kylie did great as well and was proud to exit unaided even with a broken toe. Prob helped she couldn’t feel her feet. She did miss her keen sandals though!
A few minutes further down the road we stopped to check out the well signed Blue Pools.
We hiked in on the well built path and hadn’t planned to swim but the kids begged to jump in so the boys stripped down and Mikaya jumped in too. From her journal: [I went in to belly cold water and I jumt in 3 times it was so cold]
Again it was flipping cold but we represented for Canada! A few dips and a brief hangout in the bluest pool and were out using Kylie’s sweater as a towel.
Some of the other visitors got some shots of us in the deepest pools but I didn’t get their number. At one point my boxers almost fell off so maybe it’s for the best…
The flowing water definitely stripped the heat off us so we ran the 2k back to the camper and I snuck in another nap! (Shocker)
From here it was over the Haast pass and into the completely different terrain of Wanaka.
