The first part of the journey is down the Canterbury Plain , then it turns west to Geraldine , through Fairlie to Tekapo. This is know as McKenzie country and the drive is great, going towards high mountains. Tekapo is situated on Lake Tekapo looking towards the southern alps. The views here are spectacular and not to be missed. The water is an amazing turquoise blue due to the glacial minerals. We had a 30 min lunch stop here. As we drove on we had fantastic views of My Cook, probably the best we have ever had, unfortunately we did not stop so any photos had to be taken through the coach window. We arrived into Wanaka about 15 mins early with Wyn & Dorothy waiting for us. It is still beautiful here!
I will continue this blog over the next few days but obviously it may not be quite as varied as before because we are here for 9 days. The stay had been planned to coincide with the A&P show this coming weekend, which should be great.
