Beautiful, ice-blue lake Tekapo is a glacial lake that gets its color from minerals in the water- on a sunny afternoon the color is unbelievable. Its also famous for its scenic church of the good shepherd, and on top of a hill there is Mt. John observatory. We made a visit to the Astro-Cafe for lunch, probably the best view of any coffee shop ever!
Although the water is cold, the weather was so hot when we were there we did plenty of swimming in the lake.
Also did the peninsula hike, and did the added trip down to see the white cliffs that nobody seems to know about- we would never have known about them if we didn't have Scott Cooks guide book, "New Zealand Frenzy", best guide book ever written!
