Off To The New Zealand Alps
... Cook was revealed for the first time. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay trained for their Everest trip on these mountains, and there was an Alpine center in honor of Hillary in the Hermitage. I was surprised to learn that Sir Hillary was never part of the British summit group. He was only a porter on the trip. While Hillary and Norgay hauled all of the gear up to the final summit campsite, the rest of the summit crew fell ill ...

He chatted to me while we loaded my luggage and mentioned that 3 weeks ago they had to close Queenstown airport due to snow (..!) and that the west coastal areas have had more rain this last week or so than since the 1970s and some or the other bridge he drives over was shaking under the strain of the water.
