My plans were cancelled for today because of the weather - high winds and snow in the mountains meant that my little plane to Milford Sound was grounded for the day. So plan B included a rented bicycle this morning for a trek around the park and out a pathway that goes to the next village. It followed the line of Lake Wakapitu so it was quite beautiful. When I finished that, I got a ticket for the boat that takes you across the lake. There. I disembarked at a sheep station and had a tour that included watching sheep dogs bringing the sheep down the hill and a shearing demonstration. Then we had English tea in the beautiful room with a huge fire. We finished everything with 5 min to spare before the boat was back to pick us up. I am now headed out with the younguns because the group splits in two directions tomorrow - I head north and the majority get on the other bus and go further south. I did take the picture above, but it was at least a week ago when the sun shone a bit.
Talk to you soon,
love Patti
