This was one of our hardest rides. The road heads due west and we had a strong head wind for most of the way, as well as a mountain pass to tackle. We also managed to set off a stampede of a herd of cows on the side of the road. Shortly after that we cycled into a rain cloud and had to quickly put on our rain gear. The rain only lasted at the most 20 minutes and then the sun came out again and we continued on our way to Te Anau. We always somehow manage to find a perfect place to stop for lunch and today was no exception. We found a spot not far off the road very well sheltered from the wind and could have our lunch in the beautiful warm sunshine. New Zealand does not have many picnic spots along the way but something always seems to appear just when we are about to collapse with thirst and hunger.
