Mt Cook

Fairlie, New Zealand


This is the closest my map would go to My Cook, its a bit inland from here...


Anyway...We drove out to Mt Cook Nt Park which is basically the highest Mountain in NZ and is the centre piece of the Southern Alps,

We didn't climb it ! we just did a walk through a pass across a few rope bridges across the icy streams that flow through the gorges, and then down the valley to the lakes, which have small ice bergs floating in them, the water looks warm, as it was bright sunshine and a warm day, but the water was as fresh as it comes !!

We had our lunch by the lake and all tried to stand in the lake for the longest before the water almost froze them off !!
