Our Thanksgiving day was spent driving to Mount Cook from Christchurch. The drive took us about 4 hours with stops along the way to see the beautiful scenery. Scott has gotten pretty good at driving from the right side of the car and on the left side of the street. We also crossed many single lane bridges. Fortunately, there were very few cars on the 'highway' so they didn't cause much problem.
Along the way we also stopped by Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki. The towns were pretty small. We stopped in a small dairy town called Geraldine for lunch and ice cream of course. We were happy to get into Mount Cook and our chalet at The Hermitage. For our Thanksgiving meal we went to The Old Mountaineers Cafe. The t-shirts worn by the staff were pretty great - a picture of a mountaineer on the summit of a mountain had the caption, 'the person on the top of the mountain didn't fall there.'
