By midday the fog has dissipated a little so I decide to walk up Mount John, as I'll run out of time otherwise. I manage to completely miss the starting point of the track and walk for ten minutes around the lake before I know that I've taken a wrong turn.
Back at the starting point which I had walked past (still not sure how I missed it) it's an hours trudge through pine forest up a winding track to the summit. I'm relieved it's a far easier walk that the Queenstown Hill Time Walk. Although the cloud lingers over the lake, the summit is completely clear which looks a little strange. Slowly the cloud clears to reveal deep blue skies and a gleaming sapphire-coloured Lake Tekapo.
