Lake Pukaki Information Center
Lake Pukaki is an alpine lake near New Zealand's tallest mountain - Mount Cook, we did not have clear skies when we were there to get a shot of Mount Cook but the color of the water in this lake is amazing, We stayed in these cottages and woke up to this view - the fishermen of the group even caught a salmon in the canals that are located nearby
