Lake Tekapo

From Mt.Cook National Park we headed to Lake Tekapo, another lake made extraordinarily blue by glacial silt. We hiked up to the top of Mt.John with its observatories on the summit, but by evening it was raining and it ended up not being a good night for astronomy. This was unfortunate since the area is known for its clear skies. We headed for Christchurch the next morning stopping at The Church of the Good Shepherd on the way.
