Dear all
Today we started the day in Lake Tekapo which is famous on the tourist routes for its turquoise blue waters and picture postcard views of the church of the Good Shepherd which sits on its shores. The church has a wating list of nearly two years which pleased Dean no end! Just along from this cute little church is a statue of a collie dog whihc is in tribute to the sheepdogs that helped to develop Mackenzie county.
The other big attraction for the area is the University of Caterbury's Observatory on Mount John, whihc has unparalleled views over not only glacial Lake Tekapo but also Lake Alexandrina which is a normal colour and therefore the contrast is all the more evident. We also discovered how to program delay my camera, which means you will have to suffer more shots with both of us in the future! Although it was perfect day we needed to move on as our time in NZ is flying by and we have yet to hit the West Coast ! All to come in the next few days> Although I struggle to see how most of this can be surpassed! So we hit the road and made it back to Wanaka by early evening and found a beautiful site right on the lake in the bush - not a car in sight (apart from those on the campsite!). Lush! & on that note I will bid you goodnight!
