Returning to Christchurch from Lake Tekapo (Day 11)

On the last day of our itinerary, we spent the morning hours in Lake Tekapo. It’s actually not much traveling on the last day. I drove the car on the State Highway return to Christchuch. Christchurch is one of the stations where we could drop the car to the rental company.

When we reached the city of Christchurch, it’s about late afternoon. We checked in a backpacker hostel then we cleaned the rented car a bit before we returned the car on the next day, in the hope that we won't get charges for the car dirt.

Both of us had so many clothes to clean and things to pack. We’re tired after the long trip, especially me, as the only driver along the journey. At the same time, we also felt a little down owing to the end of traveling. It meant that we need to find some jobs again and save some money before we could have another trip. Traveling is never enough for us, lol!

A Road Trip from Mt Cook to Lake Tekapo (Day 10)

From Mt. Cook, I kept driving and enjoying all wonderful panoramas surrounded us along the trip to Lake Tekapo.

 They’re still in my mind these days, at least at this moment of writing.

We stopped off few times on the roadside for photography before we reached the small town more than an hour later. 

Lake Tekapo is embellished with the milky blue waters in the lake. At nearby, we visited the Church of the Good Shepherd and viewed the Collie Dog memorial, they’re some of the legends here.

The town at Lake Tekapo is small and there're only a few shops to visit. However, the best part of staying in Lake Tekapo is to watch the twinkle twinkle little stars at clear night skies, before get on the bed.
