I just got back from a great travel weekend where I went to Mt. Cook.

I went alone and hitch hiked up on Thursday and bussed back today (Sunday). Friday was really sunny and so I took some great walks to see various lookout points of Mt. Cook. Saturday was great/grey all day and misty. It poured at around 8pm and that's also when I did the harshest hike of the weekend. I reached the top! At the top the wind picked up to crazy levels and I felt like I was going to get blown off. Then really hard hail came down and I got a headache from the pelting. It was all good. Kinda felt like Christmas. It really felt like home though. It was great.

Okay, talk to you guys soon! Remember, I love comments. :)
