The long-awaited Tekapo⛪️⭐️ lupines were in full bloom!

📍Lake Tekapo One of the reasons I came to New Zealand was to see the starry sky at Lake Tekapo!! Finally!! My dream came true and I was able to visit! The first thing that surprised me when I arrived at Tekapo in the evening was the lupine flowers in full bloom. 💐🤍 They're in full bloom from late November to early January, so I was happy to be able to see them right then. 🥰! I waited until 10:30 PM to finally see the starry sky, but the area around the famous Shepherd's Church was a bit brighter than I expected due to the traffic and headlights, so to be honest, the starry sky wasn't what I expected. (It was still beautiful, though.) The starry sky on my way home was even more impressively beautiful. 🥹🫧 If you're looking for a beautiful starry sky, I probably wouldn't recommend the area around Shepherd's Church!! Still, the lake was incredibly beautiful and soothing. 🫧
