Mt Cook (or Aoraki) is New Zealand’s highest mountain.
The weather was fantastic and the only clouds were being formed on top of the snow peaks. I had to keep stopping to take photos of the scenery.....much to Andy's annoyance, who 'just wanted to bloody get there!'
The Mount Cook township sits at the base of these ominous mountains and looks like it will be smothered under a rock slide at any moment!
We stayed in the YHA which was packed for the Easter weekend and then walked to the much posher 'Hermitage' and 'the Mountaineer's Cafe' to eat. Liquid lunch at the Hermitage
Statue of Sir Edmund Hillary, who practiced on Mt Cook before climbing Mount Everest.
