Leisurely morning after yesterday's exertions, leaving B&B around 10.15am in warm sunshine. Weather stayed good all the way to Haast, where we stopped for lunch. The scenery was great as we travelled south, mixture of mountains, farmland and Coastal views.
After lunch, we drove over Haast Pass, again great views (including more waterfalls!) but we had some rain in places.
Once through the Pass, weather became warm & sunny again and there were lovely views as we drove beside Lakes Hawea and Wanaka.
Arrived at our B&B around 3.15pm. On arrival, we discovered that a major international Iron Man event is taking place here tomorrow morning (we're still discussing whether or not to get up for the 7am lake swim start!).
Walked into town for an early dinner & got balcony table at Alivate restaurant with beautiful view of lake & mountains, food was good too.
We spent some time watching the evening's triathlon races before returning to the B&B.
So did you make the 7am start?!
