After leaving Lake Tekapo we drove a little further to our next destination - Mount Cook. Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand...... It had heaps of snow on it! We were driving up a single road along side Lake Pukaki, this was the identical colour of Lake Tekapo (I guess this is to be expected, being the next lake along, in the same part of the world...)

Our Air New Zealand flight from Sydney to Christchurch, was lovely, very comfortable and I got to watch the WHOLE first season of Cougar town.. which I have missed, since travelling....

Anyway we checked into our hotel, they really must have won an award for the mos...

Sort of wasted, just sat with all our bags waiting to check in... But we saw heaps of people falling out of the sky, and landing on the stretch of beach infront of us..... They had just jumped out of a plane, doing a skydive... I have been having second thoughts about my skydive, ...
