I get up and the morning is cold and grotty so I drive around clyde taking photos of dunstan this etc. Then I go back to cromwell and decide to take the road to mount cook. I drive past lake dunstan and lots of morino sheep. They have especially soft wool and are really popular here. The wool is also exported.
Then After driving for what feels like hours I get to lydnhams pass. Not a bad bad drive. Really prietty Roads. Only thing is all of a sudden you hit snow. Then a bit more then lots. I am going through this windy road that's quite steep, going up and down and there is snow everywhere. I am a little panicked as don't want to have to use snow chains and have nevre driven in snow.
Anyhow its not a long road so I do that then get to the first town. It's 4pm I was nearly out of petrol and its a long drive to queenstown so I better head back. Off I go through the pass and get to one of the top 10 carravan parks at queenstown. Stopping on the way at the gold mine and gold jetboating area in the gorge which was shut so i had to move on.
