Day 3

- to Mt Cook. We drove up to Lake Tekapo which was an eye-catching turquoise, alot like the glacial lakes we'd seen in British Columbia. The sun was shining and we stopped for a little lunch, then a walk near the lake. Having no experience of NZ sunshine I didn't think anything of a little sun on Zack and Keith, and now they're both quite sun-burnt on their faces. Oh dear me. I hope Zack sleeps OK as it looks very red and hot to touch. Bad mother ! We pushed on to Mt Cook because it was still early afternoon. Found a campsite with a bit of shelter and views of the water and mountains. We'd like to do some flying tomorrow, but we'll have to see as the weather forcast is nasty and a neighbour said he'd heard the same.
