Lake Tekapo

the view from the campsite in the evening

Turquoise water

Lake Tekapo has a reputation for turquoise water - not so easy to see on a cloudy day, but there's a hint here

Church of the Good Shepherd

This small stone church was once the only buillding overlooking Lake Tekapo, but noew a tourist settlement has arrived. The main window is unusual - no stained glass means a lovely view

Mistake Peak

British influence

Bob and Betty join me to see a British built diesel train that held the speed record in NZ 50 years ago - 79 mph! 10 of these were sent by sea - 1 sank.

Two Taiwanese joined me for this stretch - farewell at the farm which forms their base on a working holiday
