So for the second time in a week, I am holed up in a backpacker because of bad weather! Now I am at lake Tekapo, if I could ride every day from tomorrow on, I would arrive in Queenstown in exactly a week. Somehow I put together of the many local scorpions we found. Of course I cant complain, life is still great and this lake is amazing! Its got a turquoise blue color that Ive never seen before. There is so much to do to increase the speed you move through it so it brightened me up and running. No more straight, flat roads with nothing to see but sheep and nothing to do but pedal and count fence posts! This is the promised land!
