Mount Cook - South Island - NZ

We drove from Christchurch to Mount Cook and the ride was beautiful. The area around Christchurch looks a bit like Holland because it’s all flat, but once you’ve gone off the highway the scenery is very nice. We drove through the mountain area towards Mount Cook and took some good postcard quality pictures. This area is really stunning this time of the year (first week of December), because of all the flowers (lupines). Once arrived in the late evening at mount Cook we decided to kill our budget and stayed at this fine place called the Hermitage. We had one of our best dining experiences, due to the excellent food and the stunning view right at Mount Cook. We slept in a cozy chalet in stead of our campervan and left the next morning right after breakfast further south to Dunedin…
