Another Gloomy Morning

Te Anau, NZ - Fri, 12 Apr 2024, 7:30am
The weather has not been a very good friend so far in New Zealand. The best we got was the day we arrived, strung out from a red eye flight and nearly 24 hours of travel. At least we got a chance to walk around outside the airports in shirtsleeves. Sunrise over Lake Wakatipu on Tuesday morning was amazing. But since then it's been mostly gloomy and often raining. Here's our just-after-sunrise view this morning:
This photo is from our walk-out patio at a hotel in Te Anau. We paid extra to have this room with a patio and a view of the mountains in the distance. Yesterday morning we didn't even get this much. We hit the road so early it was still pitch black out. Thus this morning we made a point of going outside before checking out to enjoy our view.
Thus we also discovered the weather's gotten even worse. Today is a notch colder. The past few days had morning temps around 12° C (about 54F). Today it's only 8°.
What about the rest of our room at this hotel? Well, in the spirit of #nofilters:
Yeah, that's often what our room looks like after 2 nights.
Strangely, though, when I travel by myself it usually looks barely touched.
