Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold

The last few days have been non-stop stunning displays of nature.

After the second (and probably not last) Bungy the Stray bus took me to Mt Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand with roughly 3.700 meters height.

The walk to the lake and Mt Cook was roughly three hours, with several cable-bridges that didn't look very comforting (with signs warning of the maximum load of 20 people.)









That special mixture of sun and icy wind and the sound of avalanches on the far mountains made the walk feel like half an hour. I couldn't stop staring.


And here, obscured by clouds, we have the highest Mountain of New Zealand.
 The next day we drove to Lake Tekapo which is such a ridiculously beautiful shade of blue it makes your eyes hurt. Every damn picture looks like a post card.

I can't find words to describe what I've seen, so pictures will have to do instead:



I feel so blessed having lived to see these amazing sceneries.

  1. Very scenic indeed. Meanwhile I'm under the impression that New Zealand is an endless wonder of stunning nature and adventurous things to explore. :-)
