Hello dont know why this is blue sunday eve now. left Christchurch this morning drove south west aiming for Mount Cook highest mountain in nz 3700m? Found myself in Burkes Pass strickingly splendiferous scenery, lupins all along roadside for miles and miles mauve, yellow, blue, pink seem wild but only along roadside.Then over a hil, round a corner and wow lake pukupi massive and bright pale blue I found out later caused by very fibne particles of rock scraped down by glaciers over the centuries. Astounding vistas with the lake surrounded by mountains and moorland with low scrub and natural grasses in between. Camping at Glentanner Park right next to the lake and surrounded by snow-capped mountains. sun is shinind in contrast to the rain and wind in the first half of the journey. Going to mount cook village tomorrow about 20k further along side of lake. Best wishes to all, John. John Cornhill
