Day 3 - Lake Tekapo -> Mount John -> Oamaru
After visiting the amazing and beautiful Lake Tekapo, we continue our journey to Mount John. We planned to view the romantic starry sky for the previous night, unfortunately we didn't have the chance due to the bad weather. However, it is a wonderful experience to capture more nice scenery photos of Lake Tekapo shooting from the top of Mount John. The winding road of Mount John is also another memorable driving experience!
For Oamaru, the purpose we visiting there is to look for the cute penguins, but again too bad, we reached there too late! Penguins are back to their sweet home around 5:00 pm! Gentle reminder: If you wanna watch the cute penguins going back to their nest from the sea, be sure you need to standby before 5 pm. In addition, penguins are camera shy too, DO NOT use flash while taking photos!
