Things that made this tour memorable
- arriving at Mt Cook with zero visibility but then seeing the Mt Cook just as we were about to leave - wonderful luck !
- my hotel room getting totally flooded during the night
- the wind especially on the way to Christchurch
- the coach airconditioner not working on last day - very warm !!!
