For our wedding anniversary this year we headed back to the South Island and a long weekend at Lake Tekapo. Our accommodation was a wooden house with the most amazing views out over the lake.
The rock flour particles caused by the glaciers carving up the rocks are in the lake giving it the amazing turquoise colour, the contrast can be seen in the photo comparing the typical blue colour of Lake Alexandrina to the left.
The township of Lake Tekapo is small, only about 300 inhabitants, however these numbers are swelled each day with tourists passing through on the route between Christchurch and Queenstown. Typically they stop for less than 30 minutes so miss the true beauty of the place.
