DAY FIFTY ONE

Did I mention that our neighbors last night were from Gulf Harbour? We have met a lot of people from 'home'. Today we drove from Clyde to Lake Tekapo where we are staying in a 'Wings' camp for a couple of nights. First a coffee stop at Tarras, where a helicopter made me smile by coming down to land on the small patch of grass right beside the road. That's called 'dropping in' for coffee. Then it was on to Lake Ohau where we checked out the fire damage before parking up for lunch. Next was a very nice easy relaxing ride meandering part way along the end of the lake. It was pretty cold starting off but by the time we returned an hour and a half later the sun was shinning. Unfortunately though the wind had arrived causing the lovley calm lake to become a surf beach. It was good to have a less challenging ride than the last couple we have done
Now looking at the very low lake level of Tekapo. Seems there hasn't been enough snow melt to fill it. Hope for a good cold winter this year to refill it
