    Bannockburn

    March 27, 2022 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    On Sunday afternoon we moved to a POP in Bannockburn. It is a nice property looking out over the river and hills and we had the parking area to ourselves.

    On Saturday we biked the Dunstan trail, as far as Hugo bridge. It was a great ride, but the fact that it was so busy detracted from the experience somewhat. The track was fairly easy but it was difficult constantly having to pass people going the other way. We had a nice lunch at "Burger Afloat ", a cafe operating from a boat on the lake.

    On Sunday we drove to Clyde, stopping at the Clyde dam lookout on the way. We biked the other end of the Dunstan trail, back as far as Hugo bridge. Although the ride wasn't as scenic, it was more enjoyable as there seemed to be less people on the trail. Afterwards we stopped for a look around Clyde, which has an interesting historic area. We had hot chocolate and cake at a nice cafe.
