Day 6 – all day at Tekapo and Lake Alexandrina

Couldn’t get up to the observatory, which was right opposite Lake Alexandrina, because the observatory only allows cars not even walkers. There are queues of cars going up there paying $8 each.

So we decided to cycle into town and do the ride from there but first do our device charging and blog chores and treat ourselves to a fancy lunch.

After a couple of hours there, we set out on the round the lake bike track the rhyme, but the rain started almost immediately. We got to the pine forest And I went a bit further along a stony rough slippery path that had been described as a bike path. Got completely soaked with squelchy shoes and we talked our way into drying out a little at the fancy hotels couches.
