Astrocafe

Seem to be quite well intrenched here at sleepy old Tekapo - great place, the Cafe is now open for business on the top of Mount John to the delight of rather a lot of very surprised hillwalkers Its a very cool building and location complete with a sliding roof and big feck off 12 inch telescope linked into a plasma screen inside. Winds hit up to 200K/h up here more than enough to send a labrador flying with comic effect so its pretty robust,
