New Zealand Day 12 part 1 - Tasman Glacier

15 Jun - Living in the Mount Cook Village really need nerve of steel. Not only you have to anticipate the occasional visit by the wild bunny, you have to also endure the strong gush of wind coming down the mountain. As usual, we woke up early to start attempting to conquer the Mt Cook tracks. Our accommodation is also one of a kind. The heating provided in house is not enough to ward off the chill air of the mountain. Imagine the coldness we felt in the morning!
