Just a few more photos - my camera is unfortunately not doing justice to the scenery. This was the view that made me (and every other driver on the road) pull over between Fairlie and Lake Tekapo - first glimpse of snow-capped mountains in the distance, and clouds rapidly receding.
Half an hour later and this was the view over Lake Tekapo. Again, my camera is not doing justice to just how blue this lake is. There are no words for the blueness of the blue.
No luck finding guided walks from here, so am doing a 2 hour sky tour tonight from the observatory, learning about the stars in the southern hemisphere. And am booked on a helicopter flight around Mt Cook tomorrow. We actually touch down and get to walk on one of the glaciers - I'm really very excited as I've always wanted a ride in a helicopter.
After that I will drive to Twizel and/or Mt Cook in search of guided walks!
I've put a blue filter on this to get a better impression - even without it, it looks fab x
