on thursday we left queenstown and made our way to lake tekapo. on the way we stopped off at lake pukaki, which is a lovely turquoise colour and provided a great view of mt cook... the tallest mountain in new zealand. the lake is that colour because the water comes from the glacier which on it's way down, crushes bits of rock to form a powder. you might not be able to tell the exact colour from the picture but it was really beautiful.
we have spent the last two nights staying in lake tekapo. it's a tiny little town but it's been a really nice place to chill out for a couple of days. the weather has been great so we spent a lot of time at the lake, which was quite a bit warmer than most of the ones we have been in!
one of the sights to see in lake tekapo is the church of the good shephard. it's a tiny picturesque church right on the edge of the lake.
we only have five more stops and twelve nights and then we fly home!
at the moment we are waiting for the kiwi bus which is taking us to christchurch, where we spend two nights, before heading up to kaikoura.
we'll be in touch again soon. x x x
