After yesterdays epic, I'm having a lay day in Lake Tekapo to get my laundry in order and to give my legs a rest, before heading down to the Tekapo Canal tomorrow and trying my luck with the fishing.

So today I occupied myself with chores, and a wander along the lake shores. It's such a scenic place, and I was happy to spend the time here after just a overnight visit last time here.

Today would have been a perfect cycling day - sunny, warm, and no wind. Here's hoping that tomorrow will bring more of the same.
