Tramping in Hooker Valley

Hiking in New Zealand is called tramping and today was the day that we would be tramping in Hooker Valley. Mature.It was a 5 hr return walk and the most popular track in the National Park. We crossed three swing bridges and saw the mountains from every single angle.






It was incredible to see the ice on the mountain (it looked blue too! I am guessing from the glaciers) and a somewhat enjoyable walk. My only issue was that since it was a walk through the valley between the mountains predominately, there was a lot of rock/ gravel to walk on which became incredibly tiring as you constantly had to stabilise yourself.






Iceberg.

We returned back to our accommodation with nothing to do and I spent the remainder of the day watching terrible tv and skyping.
