Left early and got there faster than expected! So climbed Mt John to the Observatory. Really bonny the but Mt Cook not showing-it was only spring. There are loads of salmon farms, old gold mining outfits, vineyards and big scenery the whole way, the reservoirs are all full of glacial melt water and so have a spooky turquoise colour. Mt Cook is a 70km detour off the main road but I’m sure if the weather was good it’d be worth spending time there. I know friends had a fantastic time around Mt Cook when they went.
