After waking half way through the night thinking that our tent was going to blow down we were pleasantly surprised to find a very sunny morning. Perfect for taking a look at Mount Cook. Still talking about my bungy jump we packed up camp and set off on the short drive to the start of the Hooker Valley Trail. On route we encountered a bit of a hold up in a herd of sheep.
After a short delay we arrived at the start of the trail and the 3 hour return trip to the lake viewpoint of Mount Cook
As you can see from the photos above Mount Cook is stunning, a jagged rocky mountain dominating the landscape. On our way to Christchurch we stopped off at Lake Tekapo (photo below) The lake formed by glacier water, you can see Mount Cook in the distance.
