Full day here. Off on Glacier Explorer to see largest glacier in NZ the Tasman. Difficult walk in 3kms for me because of pace of leader!!! Some surprising facts. A lake 7km long did not exist in 1973 and is growing fast. Great to see.

Back for lunch and a siesta then out for another walk of 2km. Mount Cook has had more than 230 climbers killed and 70 of those have never been recovered. Some turn up in glacier we saw today!!!

Out for dinner in fancy restaurant Panorama. It was excellent.

Spoke to soon. Up all night vomiting and diarrhoea later. Think it must have been mushrooms or quail egg?
