Well, this trip has been worth it just for the amazing experience we had yesterday on the cruise to Doubtful Sound. We set off from Lake Manapouri & took a boat across the lake for an hour then got on a coach across Wilmott Pass. Then we got onto a catamaran for 3 hours on Doubtful Sound (which is really a fjiord) After that we reversed the whole process! The Fjord National Park is where they filmed some of The Lord of the Rings & it really is as spectacular as the film. During the cruise the captain shut down the engines & we just drifted in silence on the water. The only sounds were the waterfalls & birds. Quite an emotional experience - made you realise how wonderful nature is! We stayed in Te Anau last night & now we're off to Queenstown & Arrowtown then on to Fox Glacier for a couple of days - treating ourselves to a proper hotel instead of a motel for a change!
