    Lakes and walking - Lake Tekapo

    November 23, 2023 in New Zealand ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    Picked up hire car and had a drive to Lake Tekapo. Planned on going to the Lupin field and just have a ganda around before heading to a camp site at Lake Pukaki...
    The Lake is stunning, so unbelievably blue with mountains in the background... there were lupins scattered along the banks and, yer it was just beautiful... I did go up to the lupin field however there weren't that many there, but a lot of photographers popping up which kinda reminded me of snipers with their extreme camera lenses 🤣
    Back on the Lake decided to go for a walk upto the observatory which was a great hike, very quiet, there were times where I didn't see many people at all, was basically the only one... and was so windy... the longer my hair is getting the more like medusa I am starting to look 🤣 what do you think?!
    Anyways, fab views etc etc!
    Drove to Lake Pukaki where a lovely couple called Gill and Steve adopted me for the evening and we spent the rest of the day drinking wine and watching sunset... First night sleeping in the back of the car, quite excited!!!
