It was a rough night. My cold is acting up. Hopefully it'll fade away tomorrow...
Unlike yesterday, the weather today was great - clear skies with no clouds. We headed up towards Jackson Bay (48km south of Haast), which is a detour, but there are supposed to be pinguins there and Zion is all about seeing them. The road to Jackson Bay was beautiful. In fact, a few words about beautiful roads: The road through Arthur's Pass (Christchurch - Greymouth) is beautiful. As is the road along the west coast heading south.
At Jackson Bay we saw no pinguins, but at least the place was very nice, well worth the drive. We returned to Haast and then headed to Wanaka. Wanaka lake and Hawea lake are simply stunning, especially the latter. Wanaka lake is very blue and Hawea lake looks like a fiord that reflects the mountains that surround it. Simply breathtaking.
Wanaka itself seems like a pretty nice place. We'll spend some time here for sure.
