Diary for Debbie does...round the world


Wet wet wet in Mt Cook Village

2017-09-15

We heard the pitter patter of rain all night so didnt bother attempting to get up early. The rain was pretty torrential all day - most rain Ive seen for a long time - it continued all day and all night and pretty muchly curtailed all outside activities. No glimpse of the mountain today either. Went down and looked in the Sir Edmund Hillary Centre and watched several documentaries. Really enjoyed the one on Sir Ed's life  - particularly how he struggled with depression and grief after the death of his wife and daughter. Cheese and crackers for lunch in the room and the rest of what was left of the afternoon was spent reading. More cheese and crackers for dinner with a glass of wine. This was a bit of an impromptu long weekend so limited finances as off to Singapore and Cambodia next month.
