Peppers Bluewater Resort Lake Tekapo

On the road Becky at the wheel and heading for Lake Tekapo. Amazing countryside, happy to be passenger so I could absorb our surroundings on the way traveling from Ashburton to the mountain region. <br><br>On arrival we found the motorcamp and as early got a great spot with views to the lake. The Lake is a stunning bright blue colour. The weather was lovely 22 degrees and sunny much warmer than Christchurch. <br><br>We took a walk ...

... 5km and then stopped. <br>I then walked round lake Hayes which was exactly like mountain biking but was very pretty, good exercise and definitely worth it. At one point there was even a swing (quite a strong one) that you could sit on a go out over the water. This sort of thing you couldn&#8217;t have else where some one would sue but in NZ it was all good!<br>After this though I had to get back into my now very hot car and drive to Tekapo, I stopped briefly at Cromwell to ...

... Jason took the mickey out of - however when I woke up at 7am the next morning and turned over he was there in his beanie so had obviosly decided it wasnt such a mad idea. After the first couple of nights we got used to how the bed worked etc and it all got easier but it would have been pretty funny to have watched us as first time campers fighting with the van on the first couple of days. The weather also got warmer which was a relief. Rank ...

... we awoke to snow covered ground but as we drove through the very scenic centre of the South Island the sun came out and we were treated to the most spectacular views of the snow covered majestic Aoraki Mount Cook and the Southern Alps, as well as the brilliant blue glacial Lakes Tekapo and Pukki. The road to Aoraki Mt Cook is a dead end and there is a 'village' nestled at the base of the mountain ...

... out of the hostel. We hiked to a small pond that is called a lake (but it's really more of a puddle), and then we hiked up even higher for a better view of the mountains and the Tasman Glacier. Some of those paths were steep, and full of crazy rocky slopes, so I'm actually surprised that I didn't twist my ankle or something. Especially because I hadn't planned ahead and was hiking in the only pair of real shoes I'd brought (Chucks). But it all worked out. After that ...

... d'anada i una de tornada molt bonic. Fa bon temps, llastima que hi ha forces nuvols cobrint els pics. Despres ens dirigirem a Lake Tekapo on agafarem una avioneta i, sobrevolarem diversos llacs, glaciars i muntanyes. Seran la 1.15pm. El cel s'ha aclarit mes... dema preveu ploure... doncs, arribem al moment idoni per fer aquest trajecte. Veure altre cop la Muntanya Cook i, els Glaciars Franz Joseph i, Fox pero aquesta vegada des d'un altre punt de vista, des d'una ...

... voir le doc au bout de cinq jours, la fièvre est partie cette journée la. C'était viral, probablement quelque chose que j'ai attrapé dans l'avion (vous vous souvenez, en arrière avec le bétail). Je vais top shape depuis, les microbes n'ont qu'a bien se tenir sinon je les écrabouilles. Une chance que je ne suis pas allé en Afrique, la j'aurais vraiment eu la chienne...

... Lago Pukaki, que, apesar de bastante bonito, não é tão impressionante como o Lago Tekapo. À medida que nos aproximavamos do Monte Cook e dos Alpes do Sul, a paisagem foi-se tornando mais e mais impressionante, com glaciares e montanhas dobertas de gelo. Depois de uma curta paragem para almoço na Vila do Monte Cook, dirigimo-nos ao Vale Hooker para fazermos uma caminhada. O caminho ao longo do vale demora várias horas e segue o percurso do rio Hooker. É uma ...

... much<br>like the suburban American style that we know of. After dropping off<br>our stuff we headed right back out to find dinner at Peppy's pizza that<br>we passed by down the road, the town center being a strip mall cluster<br>of again, one of everything.<br><br><br><br><br><br>9:00 <br>PM - Peppy's was hopping with young snowboarders and winter travelers,<br>like in Queenstown ...
