After breakfast we went for a walk around Lake McGregor. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the scenery spectacular.
Next we headed up Mount St John to the observatory. We spotted a man looking through an enormous electronic telescope. He invited us to take a look and even though it was daylight we could clearly see Venus. We chatted for a while and discovered he had applied to go on the space mission to Mars. WOW, we met a real astronaut!
In the afternoon we took a walk up a hill which gave a fantastic view of Lake McGregor, Lake Alexandrina and Lake Tekapo. We could even seen snow capped mountains in the distance.
Back at the campsite we chatted to the man who runs the site and he showed us the big rainbow trout he had caught that morning. The colours on it were incredible with a big red stripe down the side.
