Rainy drive back to Christchurch

Huge thanks to Natalie for safely driving us from Lake Tekapo to Christchurch despite heavy rain and thunderstorms. She stayed calm, professional, and positive the whole way. Felt very safe and well looked after! :)

Sunny snowy mountains

Lovely trip to Tekapo from Christchurch. The bus was very comfy and new and our guide, Grant was funny and friendly. Tekapo was so blue and the snow capped mountains gave a great frame to it.
