I went gondola station by walking, and took skyline gondola and enjoyed luge 5 times. Initially, I thought it was a good deal, and after few rides, it can be too much. I also didn’t prepared well for the weather. Without sunglasses in sunny day is not pleasant.
I went back to the hostel, and packed my luggage. then left big suitcase at the hostel. I carried small and big backpacks on the front and back. I took bus to Te Anau, and stayed at the Lakefront Backpackers.
