My 2nd road trip, in just a week after the first one. I must say it was pretty tiring though this 2nd one was actually a bit more leisure than the 1st. I believe it is the cascading exhaustion from the 1st one. By the time we were back from this 2nd trip, I was really not looking forward to the 3rd one coming in 1.5 week. 3 road trips in the span of 3.5 weeks, all the results of spontaneous decisions due to the cheap flights that came in almost the same time.
This 2nd trip took 4 days 3 nights. We flew off to Christchurch on Friday 23th Jan and started our journey right away to Lake Tekapo for a night. Then, to Oamaru and back to Christchurch on 25th Jan for CNY eve. We flew back the next day.

Our first stop, Lake Tekapo. I was there one winter long long time ago. Due to the disappointment I had with Lake Wanaka, I didn't put much hope on Tekapo this time. As much as l would like to be optimistic, I hate to be disappointed again. Funny how things always turn out better when you least expected it. I can still clearly remember I was like "WOAH!!" with eyes as big as you could imagine as soon as the lake came in sight. I had never seen a lake that beautiful. The turquoise colour water beat Wanaka hands down! I don't remember Tekapo being this beautiful the last time I was there.
The perfect place for a romantic wedding
Our dinner for the night.....

Hi Doreen, the lake is really beautiful. Wooowww... Your photos make me want to come back to visit South Island! Of course, visit you and Rick, too. Hehe... I still think NZ is the most beautiful country. My favourite photo is the one with you jumping. Very lively and cheerful.
