Haast Pass






My best day of cycling in New Zealand: Hawea to Haast, passing Lake Hawea and Lake Wanaka, crossing bits of Mount Aspiring National Park and Haast Saddle (i.e. the Southern Alps). About 130 km with numerous waterfalls, river-views, steeeeeeeep sections, runaway-vehicle-driveways. A couple of lookout-walks along the road, 3 (?) DOC-campgrounds (didn't check them) and the best: Cafés in Makarora.
Me + the bike happened to be the centre of attraction for a couple of chinese guys (for a few seconds at least). So this is what it feels like if other cultures put the camera in your face without asking.
