Lovely Lake Tekapo

Driving through the rain to Lake Tekapo was a gamble,  given it looked just as miserable in the distance, but DH had consulted various online weather guides and had determined that would be the place to be. 
Well.  Hate to admit it, but he was right.  The Association campground at $6 a night is RIGHT on the lake, with an easy bike track to town.  Just a delight.  
PB and DH went for a paddle while I made a banana and apple cake.  (A successful experiment, doctoring an internet recipe!)
Then we sipped on a chardy at the lakes edge watching PB play in the water. 
Dinner, then off to the Church of the Good Shepherd, to see it in the light of a fabulous sunset.
Wow, a LOT of tourists had the same idea, it was a very popular spot! 
Just gorgeous, and the monument to the collie dog was stunning, too. 
The next day dawned just as splendid as the first, so after a big sleep in, we packed morning tea and headed into the bush on our bikes.  A cool track lead us through the bush and down to the lakeside.
The afternoon saw the kayak go out a couple of times and more quiets in the late afternoon watching PB splash in the lake.
Lake Tekapo, you're not shabby.
