Thanks for the comment, Igor. Tekapo really is a beautiful little town but there's a lot of development going on there now and I think they're ruining it, except the bridge should have been built years ago. It was built with a big community fundraising effort.
If you're into astronomy, the Mt John observatory is right next to the town. The area is recognised as a dark sky reserve. I've always wanted to do a tour of the facility but haven't managed to be there at the right time yet.
