- hapticmonkey 1y agoIf anyone reading this ever gets the chance, go to Tekapo in New Zealand and enjoy the sky. The area is park of a Dark Sky Reserve. I enjoyed a midnight stargazing tour complete with telescopes and hot springs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoraki_Mackenzie_International_Dark_Sky_Reserve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoraki_Mackenzie_International...
