Lake Tekapo - Lake Ōhau

Vi havde lejet elcykler for at komme til Lake Ōhau. I stedet for at gå i to dage cyklede vi strækningen på én dag. Vi endte med at cykle 92 km, hvilket tydeligt kunne mærkes i numsen, da det var noget tid siden, jeg sidst havde siddet på en cykel og cyklet så langt.

Det meste af turen havde vi udsigt til det højeste bjerg, Mt. Cook, samt gletsjersøer. Vi cyklede blandt andet også forbi en laksefarm samt forskellige vandanlæg, der forsyner de nærliggende områder med strøm.

En del af strækningen var meget blæsende, og elcyklen var meget værdsat i modvinden. Vi ankom til Lake Ōhau omkring syv timer senere, hvor vi slog vores telte op ved et lodge, som havde en fantastisk udsigt.

Kunne ikke uploade hele videoen fra flyveturen, så resten kommer her.

We had rented e-bikes to get to Lake Ōhau. Instead of walking for two days, we cycled the distance in one day. In total, we ended up cycling 92 km, which was very noticeable especially in our bottoms, as it had been quite a while since I had last sat on a bike and ridden such a long distance.

For most of the ride, we had views of the highest mountain, Mount Cook, as well as glacial lakes. Along the way, we also cycled past a salmon farm and various hydroelectric facilities that supply power to the surrounding areas.

Parts of the route were very windy, and the e-bike was greatly appreciated when riding into the headwind. We arrived at Lake Ōhau about seven hours later, where we pitched our tents near a lodge with an amazing view.

I couldn’t upload the entire video from the flight, so here’s the rest.Baca lagi
