- Drive to Mout Cook
- 2 x walks at base of mt Cook
Off to Mt Cook today - as per usual, the weather is absolutely perfect with a clear sky, however the previous nights had brought snow - so the mountain and surrounding areas were covered with Snow. The drive there was once again spectacular, passing bright light blue lakes and stunning surroundings, with sheep crossing the road. Took one hour to make it to the base of the mountain, where there are a number of walks, so took 2 walks in fresh snow one to a lookout in front of Mt cook overlooking a lake - and the other taking a large bridge over a river running off the mountain.
It's impossible to photograph (although we did try with 322 photos!) to actually capture the awe of the scenery. The perfect weather and recent low snow make the experience amazing and everything was perfect.
Drove back into town, did some supermarket shopping (in the tiny town supermarket) for dinner and food tomorrow - before heading back to accommodation to make dinner.
