I'm hurrying to write this before my internet time elapses.
Another great week. After Lakes Tepako and Wanaka, we ventured into the new year in Fiordland. We drove from Wanaka to Te Anau and with so much light decided on an unscheduled drive to Milford Sound and I'm glad we did.This slide show needs lots of editing so you may not see some of the places mentioned.
The tour of Doubtful sound crossed beautiful Lake Manapouri before crossing a hydro private road pass into the sound. The overcast weather was not conducive to great shots but seeing the ocean was exciting - I've spared you the seal colony shots but I have plenty if you want to see them. We returned to busy little Te Anau at 8pm.
We then stayed overnight in Queenstown. A sign outside Westport boasted, "Want Switzerland, see Queenstown. Want New Zealand, see Westport". Hmm. I did see Westport and ... the best thing was driving away from it up the Buller River gorge, headed for Blenheim and Marlborough on the northeastern tip of the South Island.
