Never Saw the Mountain

After viewing a beautiful rainbow over Lake Pukaki, we made it to the Mt. Cook accommodation without seeing the mountain because of the weather. We woke to not seeing the mountain because of the weather. We left the hostel without seeing the mountain because of the weather. 😢

We've stopped in Tekapo for lunch and the hot springs, although I'm passing on the springs.

So long [for now] and thanks for all the fish. ✌️Read more
