    Mount Cook back to Christchurch

    March 20, 2025 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Long day across the scenic route back to Christchurch today. The weather clouded over as we travelled back past Lake Pukaki, how different it looked from yesterday, we realised just how lucky we had been. We stopped at Lake Tepako, with the Church of the Good Shepherd built in 1935 to commemorate the early settlers & the Sheep Dog statue, a tribute to all working dogs. The sun shone & it was another beautiful spot to visit 🥰🥰
    We then stopped in Geraldine for lunch, with another couple of breaks before arriving back in Christchurch at 4.30pm. Quiet evening this evening as we head out at 6.45am tomorrow for our ferry across to the North Island and Wellington.    Read more
