April Showers

There is deceptively a lot of blue sky on this photo given the amount of rain we've had this month. But I suppose that's the thing about living on the road you have to make the most of the weather and get out while the sun is shining. Mark seems to have become a dab hand at checking the forecasts and making the best of it but I think even he was being a bit optimistic with his solar shower bag out at Mt Cook in April.

Tekapo NZMCA Park

3hr walk from the Tekapo NZMCA Park to the mount John Observatory and back. Over the bridge, round the lake and up the hill, past the hot pools. You don't even need to drive. Cafe at the top and if you're more organised than we were you can take your togs and have a dip on the way down. Hot pool that is, not lake that would be rather chilly at this time of year.
