Mount Cook and Lake Pukaki

[Singingsnapper]

Mount Cook might be said by some not to be the prettiest of mountains, but it is imposing. That's what keeps me coming back. Last time I camped in a site along the Tasman river, but as I would miss the light along the road to Mount Cook, I decided to head to Queenstown in order to try and get to Milford Sound tomorrow as the forecast is good. That's a 4 hour drive from here...I did a 9 hour drive from Christchurch today having only landed from Sydney at 2am...hoped to have an early start, but I wouldn't have had these from this angle had I left at 8 or 9am...
