Omarama

Monday 26th March



Time to move on again. We awoke to a beautiful clear, chilly morning. Once we were packed, we said our good-byes to Norman and Fay and set off for Twizel. We took the scenic route along Highway 72 towards Geraldine. At one point along the way we noticed a nice flowing stream, so decided it was morning tea time and time for a quick fish - who knows what might be hiding under those droopy willows?



We stopped a number of times to enjoy the spectacular views. It was such a beautiful day. The mountains had a small amount of snow. Lake Tekapo was another compulsory stop, with the much-photographed Church of the Good Shepherd and his Collie dog.



Driving on around Lake Pukaki, we had to stop again and take in the lovely view across to Mt Cook.



We got to Twizel and found the camping ground. No room for us! There were intersecondary school rowing competitions on.



We drove on to Omarama and found a camping ground that we had stayed in before.
