We spent a few days roaming around Mt. Cook/Aoraki National Park. This road is one of the most photographed place in New Zealand. It’s along the lake Pukaki, heading to the great Mt. Cook/Aoraki. I was just speechless, contemplating this beautiful landscape surrounding me.

Situated on the shores of Lake Tekapo is the Church of the Good Shepherd, which, in 1935, was the first church built in the Mackenzie Basin. The church at Burkes Pass, St Patrick's built in 1872 was the first church built by pioneers as a joint community effort, by Anglicans Presbyterian and Catholic settlers.
We did not get chance to watch star sky at this location because of cloudy day. It is one of the biggest pities in this trip.
