Oh goodness, the balloon has gone up…
I’ve decided to go in about 12 hours North-wards. A 2-3 hours driving in that direction is going to take me to the shores of Lake Pukaki with views of Aoraki / Mt Cook (13,000′). And to Lake Tekapo with its Night Sky Reserve and centre of the Milky Way up for viewing (with moon set increasingly later this week).
So with a hint of good weather I’m busy sorting the van, myself and kit out ready for a quick road trip in that direction.
Updates to follow…
