On the day 5 of our trip we woke up at beautiful 6 a.m. (ouch!), because we had booked the Glacier Explorers tour the day before. They took us with the bus a bit closer to Tasman Glacier terminal lake, where we boarded the small boat and enjoyed our tour to glaciers floating on the water with some interesting commentary from our boat "captain". Well, at least I assume it was interesting. To tell you the truth, I hardly listened to anything he said, I was too consumed by the beauty of the surroundings and taking pictures. Here they come, enjoy the flood of blue and white colour:

| The Fellowship of the Ring. Chinese version. |
After the tour, we grabbed some coffee and returned to our car one more time to go back to Christchurch. For me, this was probably the nicest route we took during our south island trip and most of the time I just stared, unable to understand it and also unable to capture it with my camera (though I tried, of course I tried a lot).

| Still in Mt. Cook Village. |

| The road next to the Lake Pukaki. |
 |
| Goodbye mountains! |
 |
| The truth behind our trip. This is pretty much all we did - me: taking pictures, Marek: eating Dorritos. |
 |
| A girl reading a book next to the Lake Pukaki. Heaven. | | | | |

We stopped one more time before going back to Christchurch - at the hot
springs nearby lake Tekapo:
 |
| Lake Tekapo. Flowers, flowers everywhere. |
 |
| Church of the Good Shepherd. |
After visiting Lake Tekapo, I was really tired from seeing all that beauty around (and quite sick of taking pictures as well), so I put my camera into my bag and just dumbly watched the country for a while. Please accept my sincere apologies and this picture of the tired me with coffee in front of my dream car. This was one of the last pictures taken on that day. See you in Christchurch!

| Hopefully this beauty will be mine in the future... |
