I take what I said back about the holiday park we pulled into late last night. It’s still definitely more rustic than a Top 10 chain holiday park, but omg, look at the view.We had no idea the lake was THIS close when we drove in darkness to our campsite last night. It was supposed to rain today, I was expecting to wake up to another cold morning of drizzling rain, which, honestly, given the miraculous weather recovery on our wedding day, resulting in perfect weather, I could care less about the weather at this point. I’ve used up all my weather karma, and I’ll take what I can get.
Weather gods must be smiling on us though. I woke up just in time to catch the sunrise over Lake Tekapo. It was unintentional that I was up so early, but instead of going back to bed, I decided to grab the camera and take a walk along the lake shore and watch the sun rise. Not a soul could be found in sight, which surprised me. It left just me, the fighting ducks, the bluest of blue waters, and my thoughts; a meditative moment that one reads or writes about, but is never able to accurately describe that exact moment of solitude.
