Sadly we had to leave Lake Tekapo and it was another brilliant day. After packing the car we made a stop before heading back to Christchurch. Lake Alexandrina is a small lake in the neighboring valley to Tekapo. It's just a small out of the way spot with a handful of shacks to one end.With clear skies and no breeze, it can be almost as photogenic as the two neighboring large lakes.
The drive back to Christchurch was a bit more scenic than the way in thanks to clear skies.
The clear skies wouldn't last. We climbed over a ridge near Kimble and the clouds showed themselves.
The closer we got to Christchurch the worse the weather became. We made a nostalgia stop at the Te Moana Gorge where Kerri's family used to camp when they were younger. I can't say it was especially interesting to be honest.
By the time we left the gorge it was bucketing down. That was about as interesting as it got for the rest of the drive to Christchurch.
