Dunedin - Lake Tekapo - day 64

Our first stop this morning was the World's Steepest Street which is Baldwin Street in Dunedin. We walked all the way up and then laid down on the road to take some pictures. It is really steep! After walking/running back down, we got back on the Magicbus and drove to Lake Tekapo. On the way we stopped by a lake that was incredibly blue and that had an amazing view over Mount Cook and the Southern Alps. Our hostel in Lake Tekapo was right on the lake and from there we hiked up Mount John through the forest and fields up to the Mount John Observatory. The view was incredible!! Really worth walking up the steep hill! After walking back down, we cooked a really nice dinner with some friends from the bus. After that we watched a movie and went to bed early.

Weather: very cold, but sunny for once!

L'appareil photo est il tombé entre les mains des orques ou envolé avec un albatros géant?
Vivement Noël!
