Our next stop was Lake Pukaki which lays at the base of the southern Alps and glaciers. The water in this lake was some of the cleanest and bluest water I have ever seen. The pictures look fake it is so blue however for some reason they are not uploading as nicely as i had hoped to the blog! In the background is Mount Cook. Right on the lake is the Church of the Good Shepard as well as a monument dedicated to the Border Collie dogs used to herd sheep.
