We got up early (pretty good for us to leave the campsite by
08.15)! and drove to the Mount Cook Village.
Before we set off for our hike we
enjoyed a lovely breakfast in The Old Mountaineers Café which looks towards
Aoraki Mount Cook.
We walked up the Hooker Valley trail towards Aoraki Mount
Cook. The track was easy walking, mainly flat surface with few little hills on
our way. You cross three swing bridges over the Hooker River until you reach
the Hooker Glacier terminal lake, where you can still see some icebergs
floating in the lake. The whole walk took us about 3.5hours and the girls did
really well. It was a very warm day with beautiful views on our ways. Needless
to say we all slept well that night!
On our drive to the next campsite we stopped to enjoy the
views over Lake Pukaki which Aoraki Mount Cook overlooks.
