After we have stocked up our food ration, we set off on the 7-hour journey to Lake Tekapo, our first pit stop. We decided to embark on a scenic adventure and took the longer route through Darfield on State Highway No. 77.
From here onwards, we passed by wide open grasslands with unrestricted views of the magnificent Southern Alps.
Will continue in my next posting on our accommodation at Lake Tekapo and the Lake Tekapo itself :)

| Road trip journey begins... |
Although it was a long journey, we hardly felt the time passed by as we simply couldn't stop gushing and admiring the breathtaking scenery along the way! We stopped several times to capture our memories here and enjoyed the crisp fresh air by the roadside:
 |
| Yup, we just started the trip but we've already captured by the view of the snow-capped mountain in the far distance |
 |
| The snow-capped mountain is perfectly captured in my background here |
 |
| Sisters in shades |
 |
| The view is extremely beautiful along the way |
 |
 |
| This is how I imagined Heidi lived |
 |
| Gorgeous! |
Tips: Speed limit in NZ is 50km/h (cities) and 100km/h (open road). Occasionally drivers will come across bridges, and depending on the signage, one party will have to give way to the other as the bridges normally allow for only one way crossing.
Along the way we also stopped by Rakaia Gorge to admire the gorgeous turquoise blue river which is a photographer's dream comes true.

| Subhanallah! The view is magnificent! |

| One more with the snow-capped mountain |
From here onwards, we passed by wide open grasslands with unrestricted views of the magnificent Southern Alps.

| It was extremely windy but we loved it anyway |
