Leaving Lake Tekapo

A fairly early morning departure, we were rewarded by some amazing views both land and sky.

How can you pass up a place with a name like this?
And the coffee was excellent!!! ☕️
Full village for sale; NZ$2.9M (~US$1.63M).
This 'field' was created after the erosion of fossil-rich limestone over millions of years. It's in the middle of practically nowhere -- pretty cool.
After the train trip, we still had the bulk of the afternoon ahead. So we hopped in the car & headed out to do a little exploring.
Destination: Otago Peninsula.
This was a drive-stop-drive-stop day due to the various lookouts between Dunedin & Invercargil.
Still pretty incredible...
