Dull day, so we walked up Mount John to the observatory and cafe and after a coffee had a tour of the oldest of the five observatories with a very enthusiastic young lady. Then we walked down the other side to the shore of the lake, it was cloudy, spitting with rain and chilly, but there was a open air wedding taking place on a ridge above the lake and the bride and bridesmaids looked a bit on the cold side, the photographer had a problem getting them to smile. Our star gazing trip tonight is cancelled because of the clouds so it's 02:00 Tuesday morning, so we're here for a few days but the walking and views are beautiful. J & G
