Honeymoon 20: Steampunk and Lake Tekapo

So today we travelled up to Lake Tekapo for our observatory tour; sadly for once the NZ weather was against us and our tour was canceled. We did get a relax in some hot pools while the rain continued down on us, and the lake is pretty, so not a total loss.

On the way up we visited Oamaru. Unfortunately the steam punk exhibit we had partly come to see didn't achieve its potential. We also stopped at a nesting beach for a yellow eyed penguin colony. We didn't have time to wait for when they returned but I did see a couple more furseals, one of which I nearly walked into! Once again the furseals are the reliable wildlife on this trip.
