mt. cook. the biggest mountain over here and often a training ground for everest.

these kids insisted that their aunty pick me up even though they had to hold onto my massive bag in the back.

on this particular day of hitch hiking i ended up being picked up by a 1935 model car and became part of an antique car rally for a while. and this is why i hitch everywhere. i'm up to 72 rides so far by the way!

this place is gorgeous. it's also a world class bouldering site.
