Lake Tekapo

---

This hostel is on the shores of the most turquoise lake you've seen, apparently caused by rock finely ground by glaciers. There's an observatory at the top of the hill which we visited - splendid view - but no tours running today. And a church on the promontary, but little else. last night we stayed in the old maternity hospital ina little town called Geraldine, where the largest jumper in the world is displayed, along with the bayeux tapestry made out of bits of old knitting machines. Sounds crazy, but looks good. They even designed the torn off end, which is lost!! I bought myself a wooly cardy and some socks, they have lovely stuff in this shop.Tomorrow, on to Mount Cook and the glaciers. Out with the vests - still in shorts so far. Pictures to follow, sorry.
