Mt Cook

Just after sunrise we left our campsite and headed to Mt Cook. On the way we stopped at Lake Pukaki for some photos. Another beautiful turquois lake. They actually do salmon farming here which is pretty interesting. The most expensive salmon in the country as I understand it. The weather unfortunately turned rainy and we ended up hiking to the Mount Cook view point in light rain. With the low cloud cover we didn’t even get to see the mountain. We retreated back to our campervan and slept the afternoon away. We awoke for a short evening hike before dinner. With a poor weather forecast we decided to pick up camp and skip the other hikes in the area and move on in the morning.En savoir plus
