NZ Day 3: Lake Tekapo - Queenstown

Good morning Lake Tekapo.
We brought Hot Cup from Malaysia! Haha.. talking about cost down. :)
But having hot cup in front of such an amazing view. It has been compensated back.
After having light breakfast, we start our journey to Queenstown. A 3.5hour journey.
30 minute from Lake Tekapo brings us to Lake Pukaki Visitor Center.
And they sell fresh salmon sashimi. We bought a box which cost $10.
It's so fresh and sweet. Indescribable. Nice!
The view at Lake Pukaki Visitor Center. If the weather was not too cold, we could have enjoyed our sashimi on that bench.
We then stop by another Salmon Farm.
It amaze me that Salmon was actually breed this way. In a pond, using lake water from the mountain.

We had Salmon Quiche. $5.
After filled ourselves with Salmon, we drive straight to Queenstown and check in to YHA.
And had our lunch at Flames Bar & Grill as introduced by a friend.
We opt for Grilled Chicken Salad. $17. The portion is very big!
We also had the famous pork ribs. $15. Yums!
We then went to Skyline Queenstown.
Experience the luge ride.
Going up with this. It's fun despite quite scary.
The luge.

We waited for the sky to turn dark for our stargazing tour.
It's freezing cold but the jacket provided is very good!
It's too cloudy that night. We only able to have a view on Mars, Moon and a few stars but not the milky way. Thus, they refunded half of the ticket price! :)
