Hi all,
You may have guessed I have found a great internet sight with a bit of speed in Te Anau, so catching up with my blog. Only trouble is dont think they allow picture downlaods and so all the great photies I have may have to wait!
Today was Friday 14th. Before getting smashede last night I went into the local tourism place (they are really great in NZ as its a big part of their economy) and booked an "Overnight" cruise of Doubtful Sound.
There are 2 sounds, Doubtful and Milford, most people do Milford, but thought I would be different and also the young lady behind the counter said it was better....who knows. Anyhow the trip starts at midday and finishes at midday the next day. You go on a boat on which there are 60 bunk beds beneath deck. During the trip they get out little inflatables (not the kind you are thinking of jay!) and kayaks and you can power yourself out into the Sound. Apperently there is a really high chance of seeing penguins, dolphins and whales...so I cant wait. Still thats Tommorrow....... so for today it was suggested that I did the 200km round drive to Milford sound.
Sounded like it would be an OK day, but what views.....snow, peaks, landscapes and so many waterfalls as it rained last night you would need 5 sticks to be able to shake at them!
Again took some ace pictures and did some nice trail walks to keep in some kind of fitness....all in all a very relaxing and chilled day.
Oh Jay, you were right, so I took a shaver to the 8 day growth...I was getting worried as I was starting to look too much like Ian Holloway and didnt want to get offered the Argyle managers job.....maybe next year as it would look interesting on my CV.
So, thats the blog caught up....if only I can find a damn place I can unload my photos...
Take care everyone...and dont forget....only 10 shopping days till christmas!
Steve
