Mount Cook II

Still wandering around. Lots and lots of cloud. Impressive all the same.

This is Kea Point. Behind me are the Mueller Glacier and Mount Cook. Still cloudy though. Mount Cook is the tallest mountain in New Zealand.

Mount Cook

I'm near Mount Cook. It's hiding in the clouds at the moment. Seems to be a popular pastime for mountains. I'm on a pathway leading to Kea Point, keas are mountain parrots. Signs everywhere warning you not to feed them.

Having a fly around to look at all these mountains. Even more cloud around now.

Lake Pukaki

Driving from Kaikoura to Mount Cook takes you past lake Pukaki. Its an unusual colour. With the Southern Alps behind its wonderful sight.

To get to Mount Cook you have to drive along the length of the lake. The road goes over a couple of single lane bridges. Its all quite spectacular.
