| We had an overnight stay in Tekapo; enough time for a game of mini-golf on the course which our room overlooked. For me it started badly with a score of 12 on the first hole. Linz thought “yoohoo, this game’s in the bag” and that there was no way I could recover after that. But, never say Di. I managed to chip away at it (excuse the shocking pun) and took the trophy with a clear margin of 3 strokes in the end, much to Linz’s (still stunned) disbelief. |  |
 The view of Lake Tekapo from our upstairs motel room |  A tribute to the value of the Collie Dog – without them grazing of this mountain country would not have been possible |

 Iconic Church of the Good Shepherd on the shore of Lake Tekapo |  Linz has a friendly chat to the (deaf) church gardener…… |  … and then proceeds to take over his job |
 Up state New Yorkers Joe & Anne whom we first met at Franz Josef in the heli-flight cinema and surprisingly again at a Japanese Restaurant in Tekapo 4 days later |  This is crème bruleé Japanese style - OMG we didn’t need the extra candy floss, sugar heart & star, icecream, biscuit, pineapple, blueberries, grapes and jam swish!!! |  the first crack of sunrise highlights the lake mist and dawn photographers (as was I) |
