Otago and...

03.02.2010
Rest day, shopping day, social day in Queenstown.

Daytrip to Glenorchy. Biking there in the morning. Spending hours at the lake swimming, reading, drinking coffee, taking in the scenery... Cycling back from 6pm to 9pm. It's kind of too hot for cycling during the day. 30 -35 dC.

Hanging out in Queenstown reading at the lakefront. Cycling to Arrowtown in the evening.

Pushing my bike upriver the Arrow Valley thru thigh-high water most of the time. Goldpanning and finding gold (nothing worth mentioned really, just small stuff). Having a good time!

Brief showers in the morning. Thanks to that it cooled down a little! Cycling over the Crown Range to Wanaka. Great long descent to Wanaka!! And of course another refreshing swim in another lake at the end of the day!
40 km gentle downhill into Wanaka

Saying good-bye to my bicycle which is being left behind in Wanaka. Spending my time at the lake before catching the bus to Christchurch.
