Killing me softly

Today was another day of hikes. Early in the morning I witnessed a spectacular dawning at Tekapo before heading to Mt Cook National Park for some extra sore muscles. Mt Cook village is situated on a plain surrounded by mountains, not unlike Sorško polje back home, but a tad more dramatic. I went for a full monty which included a hike to both Kea point and Hooker village.
Kea point is basically a viewpoint in front of the glacier morraine, which is cool, but it was too windy to stay there for long and enjoy the view. Thus I continued my way across three swing bridges, which were a ton of fun in that deadly wind. Also I was nearly knocked over, but that's another story. My dirty mind simply couldn't stop thinking, how Hooker valley needs another name. Sure the valley is invitingly open (wink wink nudge nudge), but Fart valley might be more appropriate for it is windy as hell.
Anyhow, I was battling my way onwards, struggling with my lenses (curse you, keratoconus!) and fighting the fatigue that was coming onto me. After 5 hours I finally managed the circuit and returned to the hostel exhausted. I fell asleep in the common area and barely managed to move my ass over to the room. Now I am off to a looooog sleep. Back to Chch tomorrow and heading towards Taupo on Wednesday.
Much love,
