Day 32 - Drive to Mt Cook National Park

---

Not a particalury exciting day today - just a shed load of driving; although being new zealand the landscape is constantly changing so keeps things pretty interesting.

Late afternoon we finally arrived at Mt Cook National Park where just for a few moments where we lucky enought to see a glimpse of Mt Cook's summit! Then it became shrouded in cloud once more as did most of the other high mountains. The whole area is amazing. As we the region is approached you are greeted by a huge turquoise coloured lake; as you get closer this is replaced by a large river delta where scree ridden valleys and huge cliffs meet the edges. After this snow covered mountains, glaciers, and moraine are met. The heavens opened - we spent the evening in the campervan!
