Nothing happening in Twizel. We had chosen it for its proximity to Mount Cook and the Edmund Hillary exhibition.
Unfortunately it was overcast again but after a leisurely breakfast we set off in the hope that the day would improve. Not to be I'm afraid, in fact the helicopter and plane sightseeing trips were all cancelled because of the low cloud and poor visibility.
On route we passed another ice blue lake called Lake Pukak the colour of the water really is amazing. There was also an organic lavender farm which invited you in to walk through the lavender fields, an offer I couldn't resist. it conjured up memories of my grandma and the lavender bags hanging in the wardrobe amongst her clothes.
When we got to the end of the road Mount Cook was indeed shrouded in cloud.
