Sunday began on a positive note with clear skies and views of the surrounding mountains that were previously unattainable due to the lingering layers of clouds. Unfortunately, the clouds and adverse weather began to roll back in as we got ready. As the rain again began to fall in large amounts, we made the decision to pass up on the day of hiking that was planned and just headed back to Queenstown. For the last bonus of the Fiordlands, we reached the first pass and snow began dumping from the skies and the temperature reached 1 degree Celsius. Luckily it never hit 0 and the temperature began to climb after reaching the other side of the tunnel.
Back in Queenstown, we took a walk down to the town center and grabbed a bite and did some shopping. While in the town, we found a quaint little wine bar that did tastings from a variety of the native vineyards. We then turned in for the evening since we had a long drive ahead of us on Monday as we were to head for the west coast of the south island.
