Saturday 26th September: Today dawned bright and clear in Tekapo. We headed off to the skifield at Roundhill and enjoyed a few hours of good skiing. There had been fresh snow overnight that had been groomed and it was great to ski on. But as it got to lunchtime the sun and warmth turned the top slushy and sticky. Just before lunch a helicopter swept in and landed in the lower car park - what a way to get to the skifield! That contrasted with another chap who scoots up on his motorbike with his skis strapped to his back!
After lunch we decided to leave the skifield and go to do something different. On the return drive along Lilybank Road we stopped for me to take a photo of one of my favourite views. Now if this was in Scotland there would be an old crumbling castle on that headland.
We returned to the campsite and got changed, then headed about 15 minutes away from Tekapo to fish from the canal adjacent to Lake Pukaki. It was warm and sunny and we had beautiful uninterrupted views of Mount Cook.
We enjoyed a quiet couple of hours sitting reading, but caught nothing.
We returned to the campsite and Steve and the boys played football while I cooked tea.
