Lake Tekapo is one of main places I wanna visit. A lot of friends told me it is really amazing place, must visit!! I  drove from Oamaru to Lake Tekapo after lunch time,  arrived in the afternoon. The reception told me I can visit Mt. John before 5pm, there is panoramic view, but I was soooooo starving, cooking some pasta first!!! After having meal, driving to the top of Mt. John. It was so gorgeous!! There are some observatories and a cafe shop! I stayed there for a hour, taking many pics there, my breath almost stopped, just standing there was satisfied. Going back to Tekapo, I sit beside Lake to wait for magic hour during sunset. The water is so clean, pure and tasty ,there are some snow mountains around. it's like only from painting or movies. The time of sunset today was 8:10pm, the color is purple, very beautiful color, wind became weaker as a mirror. If bed there, I would like to sleep overnight.

The darkness cover the sky, I walked to the famous place here - Shepherd's church, many pictures are taken in here, church with sky full of star even milky way. I seldom do photography for star, spending a lot of time to try the best way to take picture...well, getting  not bad photos but it can be better. I need to read and ask for  hints to take this kind of pictures and practice next time.

Next day I headed to Mt. Cook National Park with friends, Mt. Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand around 3,724metres.There are two most popular few hours tracks - Sealy Tarns Track and Hooker Valley Track. I chose front one, one of friends went with me. This track is not so hard but not easy to owing to 2000s steep stair there!! But the view in the return point was really awesome, I can see both of glacier lakes green and blue mixed, so beautiful. After going down from the mountain, we went to Tasman valleys walk, reaching the side of Tasman River, there are few ice from glacier flow on lake!! Really close to two of them!! It was really good place to visit. We walked a lot today, feeling so good!! When arriving home, it was already 8pm. After having dinner and taking shower, just went on bed asap and sleeping as a pig!
