Twizel - Easter 2010

We went inland to Twizel for four days over Easter. Very nice wee town with loads of lakes. We went on the boat a few times. Friday we went to lake Ruataniwha, beautiful weather and the water was so blue and clean. The photo's don't show just how beautiful the lakes were but they give you an idea!

This photo was taken in the morning whilst walking around Twizel township.

Marian, Lloyd and Nathan.

Flynn wanted an ice cream, of course he had to share it with me!

We decided seen as it was such a hot sunny beautiful day we would test our luck with Flynn on the boat!

Flynn's first boat ride, it was just such a perfect day for it - just look at the water - so blue!

We went to Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo on Saturday which was really cool. Lake Tekapo has a lovely wee church called 'The church of the good shepherd' and it is just on the edge of the lake. Just awesome scenery.

Lovely being surrounded by the hills and having some water there too! Very nice atmosphere.

View of Lake Tekapo from the summit - down on the right side of the photo is where the photos from above were taken and the church is on the left hand side of the wee river you can see on the right of the photo.

I think this damn is going into Lake Benmore, in which I found fasinating and again the water is just so blue and clear because it comes from the snow that has melted off the hills over the year.

A couple of guys were fishing at the damn while the water was coming out! Crazy I thought!We enjoyed our weekend, of course it went too fast but we would definately go back. Next time we would probably stay at Lake Tekapo because we loved our day there and wanted more but had to go. I would definately recommend going there - Mount cook is not far away and also the ski feilds are right there too - so good for summer or winter!

Without posting about 300 photos that was pretty much what we did! Hope you enjoyed the photos and hope you are all well! Until next time - ciao. xx
