Our time in NZ was almost up. Next stop the Cook Islands. As a warming up for our final beach bumming days in the Pacific we figured it was a good idea to go to Lake Tekapo for some R&R. Lake Tekapo is famous for its intense blue colored water, caused by certain sediments in the water. Furthermore, from there it’s a small hike up to Mt. John which on his top has an observatory to explore heavenly bodies and the so called Cafe Astro with panoramic views of the surroundings and orgasmic icecream (I am not kidding, that’s really the brand’s name!).
And since John had to climb his namesake mountain (a whopping 1030 metres low 
) we did just that.
Furthermore I took several short -lived dips in the lake. The water was really cold, but after 10 minutes or so the water was just fine. Largely due to the fact that I couldn’t feel my freezing limps anymore anyway…
