Lake Tekapo campsite





14th Feb We spent most of the day driving to Lake Tekapo and found a great campsite right beside this beautiful lake. The colour of the water which is an amazing turquoise, is due to sediment gouged out by the glacier and suspended in the water and refracting the sunlight.(Science lesson over!)
REALLY cold to swim in though, as Em`s face will show you. Steve and I were not brave enough to go in.
We spent 3 nights here and had great weather. We were camping alongside Rob and Tracy and spent time with them doing fun things.
