This is Nic’s first time in NZ, so I’m looking forward to her reaction as we come over ~that~ hump in the road to see Lake Tekapo for the first time. iykyk.
Breakfast downstairs before heading out whenever. How good are holidays?!
– Tak
11:30am – Detour to Timaru. I didn’t see much of the eastern coast last time, so a brief detour further east to check out Timaru before heading to Fairlie for a pie.
One of my fondest memories from November 2019 is the sensation of the temp slowly dropping as I approached the mountains.
We left Christchurch this morning with the temp hovering around 10°. Meanwhile, it’s getting warmer as we make our way towards Lake Tekapo.
1:30pm – Fairlie Bakery for lunch. We even heard a woman on the plane talking about it, so we had to drop in. We had mince and cheese pies and shared a jam donut.
2:30pm – Lake Tekapo! Woo! Damn, it’s good to be back. It’s as blue and as beautiful as ever. It’s also stinking hot 🤣 Regardless, the sky is so clear, it should ensure the 1am Night Sky tour is a simply magical experience.
