Yesterday (Tuesday) morning we awoke to some beautiful views in Lake Tekapo. After packing up the car and checking out of our hotel room, we had a late brunch at the little frendly cafe in town (though there wasn't many places to choose from - the population of Lake Tekapo is tiny!). Afterwards, we went for a walk/climb/adventure around a portion of the lake. Gorgeous weather, crystal blue lake, mountains and forests in the background - I really couldn't ask for more!

Eventually, we got back into the car and started making our way north to Christchurch. We stopped a bunch of times along the way - to get out and stretch, to take pictures, and even once to watch some random blokes hit some golfballs way out into the middle of nowhere. Fan-tastic!

After a 4 hour drive from Lake Tekapo, Dave and I arrived back in Christchuch yesterday evening. We hung about in the city for a while, just wandering around, not really accomplishing much except for walking around in circles. We did manage to find a nice little brew/pub, where we tried a local beer. After enjoying the free wireless internet, and a live band, we wandered around some more. Dave had been craving sushi, so it was Japanese for dinner ^_^ I had some yummy chicken katsu, and he ate some raw fish (blech), and an hour or so later, we ended up in the YHA in the city centre.
