RSSLake Tekapo
July 13th, 2004 Posted in Lodging, Scenery, TravelLake Tekapo is a glacier-formed lake north of Mount Cook National Park. The lakes in this region contain rock flour from the nearby mountains, giving them a beautiful turqouise color, making the very clear sky and the water almost the same color. The YHA in Lake Tekapo has a large bay window onto the water, making it a real pleasure to sit in the lounge. Someone told me the Mt. John walk was a good view, so I went for it, the long way around. It was amazing, as the photos I took should show. Three hours later I returned and made dinner. Read for awhile. Finished the night in conversation with a few Brits and Aussies. Only one more stop left on the south isle.
