Tekapo and Hooker Valley

We started the day heading off to the Hooker Valley trail which looks onto Mt Cook (NZ's tallest mountain). The drive lived up to the high standards set by yesterday's road trip with beautiful mountains flanking the road each side.

We timed the walk perfectly and saw Mt Cook appear and disappear in and out of the clouds. We crossed bouncy bridges (which Immy loved) and stopped for a snack by the Mt Cook glacier, returning just in time before the heavens opened.

On our drive back the passenger Princess got behind the wheel for the first time🥳

We finished the day by taking a stroll into Tekapo, listening to a 2 man brass band playing Christmas carols, a Milky way cocktail and then a pizza by the lake side.Read more
