I made it up to Mt. Cook after Queenstown, and it was pretty amazing. I had a cold (and honestly I was still a bit sore from my scaling of Ben Lomond) so I didn't try any of the walks, but I DID get to see the Sir Edmund Hillary museum, which was super cool! Mt. Cook is the tallest mountain in NZ, and it's what Sir Ed practiced on for Everest.

Part of the memorial to all the climbers who have died in the attempt.
Me and the man himself, life size. I ALMOST measure up.
The sun hitting the mountain range the morning we left.
