On route to Mount Cook
We couldn’t visit the south island without a stop off at mighty Mt. Cook. The drive there was so beautiful it warranted a post of its own. We stayed a night by Lake Tekapo which was lovely and the next morning visited an observatory where we took a picture of the mountain through a telescope. Although it seemed close in the scope it was around 200 kilometres away.
About half-way we stopped off at a different section of Tekapo for our weekly wash. The background scenery was just incredible but the water was the coldest we’ve ever encountered, melted snow from the mountains.
Who wouldn’t enjoy scenery like this!
