Day 4 – Burke’s Pass and the Road to Tekapo
Today was the longest day of the trip so far . We rolled out of Geraldine into a cold, overcast morning, but the skies were clear and — most importantly — there was almost no wind . The road heads inland here and the hills begin in earnest. The Canterbury farmland continues for a while, with plenty of dairy operations, but the landscape slowly starts to lift toward the high country.
