DAY 18: Continued the drive to Wanaka (270km)


The drive to Wanaka was strange after the flight. There are some spectacular places on the way down the west coast. There’s Knight’s Point, Haast Pass (very entertaining driving). Beautiful Blue Pools on the Haast River that are worth stopping at.
Stayed at the Lakeview campsite at Wanaka after unsuccessfully trying to organise a fishing trip-no-one fishes on rivers here. So we drank a bottle of Cloudy Bay sauv blanc on the lake side and ate fish and chips and fed the ducks as the sun went down.
