Incredible ice-cream sundae in Lake Tekapo

We really loved Wanaka (having so much fun, we went without ice-cream for two days).  We were a bit disappointed at the landscape in Lake Tekapo (fewer trees, more rocks, narrower lake).  However we found a lovely place to eat called McKenzie's Tavern.  They served meat on stone grills. I had beef, but it was so large, I could not eat it all:


Bubbles tried three smaller pieces of venison, lamb and beef (then finished off my beef)!


The meal was exquisite (cooking it ourselves was half the fun) and we decided we should probably only share a dessert (keeping in mind what the Germans had said about us in Oamaru).  The ice-cream sundae turned out to be incredible.  It included a scoop of flavourful vanilla bean, creamy vanilla and chocolate with soft nuts, topped with chocolate sauce… Delicious!


Then we went to play on the flying fox by the water, which was such fun and we decided that was the best feature of Lake Tekapo… and it was free!  We would have liked to go star gazing, but it was too cloudy.
