The Church of the Good Shepherd at Tekapo.
Reflection of Lake Tekapo in the windows of the church.
Rainbow patches on the road warned me that a truck had spilled diesel – I almost wished for more rain to wash the diesel off the road. Dark clouds threatened real rain as I crossed Burkes Pass and I stopped in at the township of the same name to put on the rainpants and to get a coffee. Coffee was only takeaway, and with no warm café, I pressed on to the next town in the rain.
After lunch in Geraldine, the sky brightened and the temperature rose to a balmy 12 degrees. I was presented with a choice of Highway 72, the Inland Scenic Route, with dark clouds skirting the hills, or to turn right towards blue sky and Highway 1. I chose Highway 72, was soon pleased with the choice.
