Day 17 New Zealand – Dunedin to Lake Tekapo

[thumb:1505:l]Having had to trudge up the second steepest street in New Zealand I felt that I should atl least do the steepest street in the world whislt I was in Dunedin.  [newline]

[thumb:1507:r]On the way to Lake Tekapo we had a stop off at the Moeraki boulders.  Weird spherical concreations that have formed in the mud over millions of years and that have now been exposed.[newline]

Arrived at Lake Tekapo we found it was too windy to to go horseriding so I ended up walking round the lake for a bit with Cloe.

In the evening I received a bit of education going up Mount John for some star gazing at the observatory.  Finally I realised why Orion looks weird in New Zealand; it’s upside down.  As well as that the Southern Cross was also upside down which is why I didn’t recognise it compared to the New Zealand flag.  It appears the simple solution would have been to stand on my head whilst I looked at them.
