After a glorious day, we awoke to the sound of a flock of Kea and clouds. The Kea is the mountain parrots of New Zealand. They sound like cats. They flew onto the roof of the buildings down below our hotel room. I did get a picture of them. When they fly they are colorful birds.
We headed off to Christchurch but stopped in Lake Tekapo to see the Church of the Good Shepard. It is a non-denominational church sitting on the edge of the lake. It is a beautiful setting with the lake beyond. A glass wall beyond the alter gives a view out to the lake. 
There were a lot of folks stopping to see the church; hence you couldn’t get a good picture.
We drove up into the cloud cover and there were no vista’s to be seen, but lots of sheep in pastures.
We drove to the train station in Christchurch to purchase our tickets on the TranzAlpine for tomorrow. The forecast was for a cloudy day, but we thought we would go despite that. Our hotel room turned out to be quite nice and very near the airport.
