New Zealand: Mount Cook

We hired a car and drove to Mt Cook for the day on the way to Christchurch (we had to pick up our camper from there). The car was automatic whuich neither of us have driven before - so that was entertaining at 1st.



Martin found this entertaining....






It was a slight hike to get to the lookout. Slightly different from the Inca Trail.






Beautiful weather for us for a change - ha ha! It snowed, was sunny, rained and was windy. Mental. Mt Cook is the one at the back that you can't see very well!
















The sediment in front of the glacier.






Lake Tekapo - absolutely stunning. You can actually see how blue it is in the photo too. It's amazing and due to the rock flour from the glaciers.






This was another lake, but I can't remember the name of it though.
