Caboose

We left Dunedin on a cold and miserable day, with our first stop being the Moeraki boulders. They’re big round boulders that have dropped out of a soft cliff onto the beach. They’re really not worth getting out of the bus for on a cold, rainy and windy day.

After passing lots of hydro-electric dams and various canals bringing water to the dams we eventually reached Lake Tekapo. It features exciting attractions such as a monument to sheepdogs, the church of the Good Shepherd and an observatory (not much use given all the clouds). Our driver organised a barbecue — so we sat outside, ate and had a few beers.
