Day 550 – Mount Cook, New Zealand
Day 550 – 10th December 2006 +13:00 GMT Total Miles 91096
We had to get up early and change rooms, we finally got into our 4 bed dorm which we had originally booked. James and Matt decided to go on a flight which lands at the top of the glacier and circles the southern alps. Jemma and I decided it was too much, the $425 price tag was off putting although they only paid $293 each in the end. Jemma and I instead sat in front of the TV and watched the film Rain Man while we waited for them to return. On there return we all chipped in and had a big fry up and then Jemma and I waked the Hooker Valley trail over the two swing bridges to the face of the Hooker Valley glacier, this walk took about 3 hours and was lovely.

We then stopped for a quick beer on the way home then cooked a curry and headed off to bed.
