Well our spell of golden weather came to an end just as we left the West coast. We woke up early to get away before the rain set in, but we didn't get up early enough. The drizzle had started by 7am the sun didn't get up till 7.45am. But we put our wet weathers on and braved the Haast Pass. The drizzle didn't come to much and we managed to escape the dreaded West Coast wet. The ride through the Haast Pass was amazing, the mountain ranges and river valleys make you feel so insignificant and yet so blessed at the same time. The first photo is the confluence of the Haast and Landsborough rivers.
The number of tourists down this way from all over the world, they come here to see our country, and all we want t
o do is get out to see the rest of the world, go figure.

We arrived in Wanaka by about 10.30am and checked into the backpackers over looking Lake Wanaka. We spent the afternoon walking around the lake and checking out Wanaka, a beautiful place but very touristy. Photo 3 is Paul standing on a jetty overlooking Lake Wanaka, the snowy peak in the background is Mt Aspiring (I think).
