The big day of the big birthday and the best thing about is that the snow has arrived. Woke to snow on the ground but fortunately not enough to strand us there for another night or two.
Headed off with the first stop at Lake Pukaki for photos - snow had stopped but rain followed us for the whole day. Most rain I have seen for a long time as we dont have much in Marlborough - well comparably. Drove straight thru Lake Tekapo and stopped in Fairlie for petrol. Really today we just kept on driving and driving and driving until we got home 10 hours later
