Saturday 10th was another early start as we decided to visit Doubtful Sound. We made our way to Lake Manapouri where our first cruise boat sailed at 8am.
To get to Doubtful Sound you cruise for 75 minutes and then catch a coach which takes you over the Wilmot Pass (over 6000 meters high) you then join your second cruise boat for a three hour cruise on the Sound.
What can we say about Doubtful Sound? Easy really WOW...WOW!! The scenery was just spectacular.
A lovely moment was when the Captain switched all the engines etc off, and asked everyone to be quiet. We just drifted along for five minutes soaking up the peace of the fjord - a very special moment. It rains for two days out of three so we were very lucky to visit on a beautiful sunny day, but it was still freezing on deck when the captain picked up speed and we were glad of our warm jackets.
This was a truly special day.
