Took the car.
Use Route One heading south. With view of snow-capped Southern Alps accompanying us all the way.
Passed by Rakaia, supposedly famous for rivers full of Salmon. Maybe we did not look hard enough, but the rivers were dry.
Had our first properly bought in New Zealand meal. And coffee.
On to Ashburton. First supermarket trip in New Zealand.
After Ashburton, came to route 79, turnoff to Rangitata and the town of Geraldine. Some interesting group of shops at the junction to Lake Tekapo. Stopped there for some look around which turns to a mini shopping trip. There are a cheese factory/shop, ice cream, souveniers, lots of cafe and also the Barker's outlet famed for their jams made from local fruits and produces.
On to the beautiful Mackenzie Country.
And continued driving towards Lake Tekapo..
