The return from Arthur Springs towards Wybe's place was even better then the day before the weather had improved, it was warmer and this time no clouds at all, in short a clear blue sky. Which presented plenty of good kodak moments, as such I stopped numerous times.
On the return trip from Arthur's Pass I visited Wybe once more. In return for using his washing machine I helped him during Sunday to do a number of chores on his farm. Which was really a great experience, learning all kinds of new things. Starting with driving a mini lawnmower tractor to trim most of the grass in the garden area. Next to that we moved his office and to properly prepare it ground had to be moved by using a big tractor with a frontloader. In short I had a really good time doing things which I would have normally never done in the Netherlands.
Today Lake Tekapo was the destination, and traveling past Methven and Mount Sommers was kind of dull since all the mountains were hidden by a lot of clouds. However crossing the next ridge into the Lake Tekapo valley the weather was super again. Clear blue skies once more and a fantastic view of the lake. I will stay here for an additional night to visit Mount Cook.
One of the things you encounter on New Zealand roads a lot are one-way bridges, these are actually quite a phenomenon. The bridges are usually already build before the road was widened and as such one side has preference of the other.
