We collected our minibus which we rented and headed straight to Lake Tekapo where we would be putting up for 2 nights. I was in charge of house hunting and vehicle hunting. Relieved that the house I chose was &#8220;extra spacious&#8221; for these 3 families to share. I&#8217;m sharing with you the view of this house we rented for our winter holidays.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-6NhM2aJYrLk\/UK2vG_SFotI\/AAAAAAAABNU\/Ly_s5OB5WRA\/s1600\/DSC_0020.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"424\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-6NhM2aJYrLk\/UK2vG_SFotI\/AAAAAAAABNU\/Ly_s5OB5WRA\/s640\/DSC_0020.JPG\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Some other holiday houses<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-5-V3xeSnzUc\/UK2vQFlsPuI\/AAAAAAAABNc\/x1PbU06rDMM\/s1600\/DSC_0021.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"212\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-5-V3xeSnzUc\/UK2vQFlsPuI\/AAAAAAAABNc\/x1PbU06rDMM\/s320\/DSC_0021.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">The entrance to our holiday home<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-TxYTqBJKugY\/UK2vY1yXQfI\/AAAAAAAABNk\/-mlYqzhCaEs\/s1600\/DSC_0046.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"212\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-TxYTqBJKugY\/UK2vY1yXQfI\/AAAAAAAABNk\/-mlYqzhCaEs\/s320\/DSC_0046.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Nice area, right?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-BFnsthDvdm8\/UK2vhSt5A_I\/AAAAAAAABNs\/bA6hPvOvAbg\/s1600\/DSC_0048.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"212\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-BFnsthDvdm8\/UK2vhSt5A_I\/AAAAAAAABNs\/bA6hPvOvAbg\/s320\/DSC_0048.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Zul, posing for me.
