Caroline Bay, really beautiful and picturesque, we are driving by the way, passing this bay, so stop, blowing the sea breeze here, looking at the scenery, really too comfortable and leisurely.

A very interesting experience, the little penguin swaggered through the corridor in front of the grass, walking back to the nest is very interesting, the wind is a bit cold at night, pay attention to mosquitoes, sometimes the little penguin will drill into the bottom of the car, but I didn't see it,

Lakes
旅の径
New Zealand has many lakes, mostly surrounded by mountains, winding shorelines, clear lakes and pleasant scenery. It is a great tourist attraction. Located in the middle of the South Island, Lake Pukaki is unique and worth a visit. One is that the lake is rich in rock particles and minerals, and under the sun, it maps out a distinctive blue, dreamy and attractive, and has the reputation of "blue milk lake". The other is that the lakeside is the best position to overlook the Cook Mountains. On the sunny day, standing on the south Alps of the north bank of Pukaki, 55 kilometers away, is clearly visible. The highest mountain is Mount Cook. The third is the lifelike statue of Tar sheep. Tar sheep native to the Himalayas, live between high mountain cliffs, are a first-level protected animal in China, and are listed in the world as a "near-risk" animal list. In 1904, an Englishman brought five Tar sheep to the South Island, because there was no natural enemy, Tar sheep flourished in the Cook Mountains, becoming the favorite animal for European and American hunters to hunt in New Zealand. In 2014, the handsome and powerful statue of Tar sheep was erected on the shore of Lake Pukaki to commemorate the achievements of the people concerned in protecting the sheep worldwide. Taking a photo with the statue is the best choice for all tourists. Fourth, the shore of Pukaji Hunan, opened the Cook Mountain salmon farm, the salmon meat produced is compact and fresh, cheap and good quality, many food lovers come to taste and buy.

The weather in Mount Cook is very good, but at that time, I booked a snow plane. The helicopter return activity was cancelled due to the poor weather on the mountain. It was a pity for two consecutive days. I drove from the Tweizer base to the airport under the snow mountain to ask and wait. By the way, I took the shortest walking route and the scenery was not bad.

We stayed at a lodge on the lakeside. Unfortunately I couldn't see the starry sky because it was cloudy at night, but it was very nice to have a wild rabbit shop duck during the day. The meal was not available at the restaurant I was looking for on a Chinese tour, so I went to other places, but it was not delicious for the high price.
