Sunday 21 November, Wanaka
Got a lift up the Haast Pass, but then long ride ending up with ascent of the neck between lakes Wanaka and Hawea. Found yet another brewpub-type establishment, for a Wanaka Beerworks Tall Black (and their Gold is very good too), and a Monteith's Pilsner (5%). Score: Trip days 17 Beers drunk 25

Long long drag up a hill past gold mining shack at Cardrona, then more up to top of pass with ama
zing descent then down to river to watch bungy jumping. Then briefly to Arrowtown - more gold, but bit of a tourist hole albeit with excellent brewery - after tasting, tried Arrowtown Brewery IPA (8%! more a winter ale). Then had another Moa Weka lager at the Dux-de-Lux later in Queenstown. Quite a day. Score: Trip days 18 Beers drunk 26
