Mt Cook bike & hike

We left Lake Tekapo this morning and rode to Mt Cook village via the Alps 2 Ocean trail.  Again I saw things that I have seen before but it never gets old and the perspective is different from the trail versus the road.  Once we reached Mt Cook village we had lunch followed by a short (kiwi short and easy) hike.  We had great views of Mt Cook and Lake Tasman with multiple icebergs that have chipped off the Tasman glacier.

Our breakfast location in Lake Tekapo.
