We agreed to take it slow today. None of us felt the need to go back to Mount Cook, so we checked out the town we’re staying in, Twizel. We walked into town and checked out the shops. I was looking for a power converter for my laptop, and we all were looking for L&P, a famous New Zealand soda.

We picked up each, and played a little chess in the main square. We also picked up a frisbee, which worked out perfectly because there was a frisbee golf course on our path around town. After frisbee golf we came to another glacial river and followed it. We saw many salmon in the clear river. Josh loved it.

After about 6 miles we finished our track around town and went back to the house. Everyone took a little down time and I caught up on my blog.

We ate the leftover chicken, sausage, salad and cheese from yesterday’s party. Played some cards, planned out a few things for later in the trip, and packed our bags.
