Quietest night ever, 15km up a dirt road on the east shore of lake Tekapo. Not a single car went through all night, a cattle grid gives an early warning of approach. Mount John observatory in the far distance but we've got the best view of the night sky with no light pollution just a sliver of new moon. Might have to stay another night as I bought a book of 100 classic car crosswords...sad or what?! !! Lake Tekapo is snow melt but doen't feel too cold so I can feel a swim coming on now the air's warmed up a bit😀
