Hanmer Springs

Lots of fun in Kaikoura but we moved on.

S and I did the Alpine Pacific Triangle,  a pleasant little touring route, so we had the local knowledge.  
We all proceeded to Hanmer Springs for a dip.

Hanmer Springs
We had a soak in warm noxious smelling water - top hole entertainment.
Then - CHARGE over the Southern Alps via Arthurs Pass.
Tad disappointing; didn't really notice the summit until last 500m.
But the change from East to West is dramatic.
The East is sheep farming.
The West is JUNGLE.
I kid you not.
