Mt. Cook
Yesterday, I went to Mount Cook National Park. It was a 5 hour drive via bus. The place was absolutely gorgeous…some of the best scenery I have ever seen.
We had stopped by Lake Tekapo along the way for some photo ops.
Nearby, was the Sheepdog Memorial, which was build in 1968. According to the legend, a Scotsman called John McKenzie had a dog named Friday that was exceptional. He even understand Gaelic and Scottish, as well as future commands (John could tell him what needed to be done a few days from now)…haha. The whole district is called the McKenzie Highlands.
Also, close was the Church of the Holy Shephard, which was built in 1935. It used by many New Zealanders and Japanese people for weddings. Instead, of a stained glass window, it has a view of the Lake.
Because it was such a clear day, the driver also stopped at Lake Pukaki so we could take some photos.

These Scotsmen (and women) are all alike — they get a drink on a Saturday night and start seeing and believing all kinds of things.
Sounds like you’re having a blast. Keep ’em coming. Love it.
