It's been a long time. I've been on a trip for two days. You know Lake Tekapo? It's a nineth biggest lake in NZ and the water has milky blue. We visited there to watch stars.
First day, unfortunately, it rained; still, we left by my car at 10 from Christchurch. A girl of friends rode on my car was sickly, so we had some break while we were moving. In about four hours from a start, we arrived at Lake Tekapo, but it was still raining. The lake's blue is released by clear sky, so it had lost beauty. There was nothing to do, we decided to make dinner.

Next day, I woke up early, so I went for a walk outside. It had stopped rain, but still cloudy. Also it's very cold of course, I doubted this season. I went back the hotel, and began to make breakfast for all of our. When everyone woke up is two hours later after then.

After check out, it began to be sunny gradually, so we left to Lake Pukaki and Mt Cook. Laku Pukaki has very beautiful blue too, the view couldn't be better. And snow remained a little at the foot of Mt Cook, it was very cold there too. And finally, there was clear sky we had hoped after lunch time.

We went back to Lake Tekapo in order to wacth stars. We sought a dimmest place and went around the lake. Then we found a nice place, so we had waited sunset and perfect dark.
Stars we could see had increased gradually while waiting. And ultimately, they deprived our voice. There was a planetarium I had never seen. Orion, the Sothern Cross, and the Milkey Way were. We sought a shooting star appeared sometimes with lying down on the road.
