Cycling Day 10 - Wanaka to Pleasant Flat

Had a great day cycling from Wanaka up over the Haast Pass and down into a little campground called Pleasant Flat. So much to feast the eyes on, swift flowing rivers, snow capped mountains, alpine meadows, beautiful lakes and beech forests. Had a bit of a head wind but generally the riding was wonderful.












That night Pete and I met up and campled camped at a nice little camp ground called Pleasant Flat which is just after the descent from Haast Pass.

After feasting my eyes on the scenery it was time for the Sand Flies to feast themselves on us... ahh, the beautiful cycle of life!


Here is a picture of Pete and I trying to avoid Sandflies. We figured if we stood still and looked unnatractive then they might not try and eat us.

... just for the record: We were wrong.
