Grumpy Mount Cook

The cloud-covered mountains upon arrival didn't make it easy for us to find and see Mount Cook. Only a sign at the Kea Lookout (unfortunately without Kea) showed us the direction.

Only my mother managed to catch a glimpse of the summit when the clouds cleared.

The next day, we had blue skies and a great view of the 3724m high and highest mountain in New Zealand.

We took advantage of the beautiful day to hike to the glacier lake before heading back towards the sea.
