    Day 7: Antarctica Roadie to Tekapo

    May 18 in New Zealand ⋅ 🌫 7 °C

    Woke up and went to the International Antarctica Centre to muck around in Storm Rooms, Hagglund Rovers, play with penguins and huskies, before boosting to Geraldine for some Running Duck Fried Chicken Lunch.
    Followed by The Geraldine Cheese Company tasting and picking up some cheeses for a charcuterie board on our hike tomorrow.
    We also visited the Barker's Food Store to sample and buy some delicious jams and syrups.

    Finally stopping in Fairle Bakehouse on the way through to pick up some pies for tomorrow (with tummies too full today).

    Lastly we checked into our accom in Burke's Pass and feed the local lady's sheep, boosted into Tekapo to try and catch the last of the daylight, wandered a bit before shopping at the 4 Square. Checked out the Hot Pools and Ice Rink before some delicious dinner at 25 Degrees Burgers, smashing ourselves with yummy burgers, and delicious alcohol milkshakes.

    Finished off the night, as it was too cloudy and stormy with snow too, with some card games back at the lodge.
