Breakfast, another fab offering, was served at 7am, so an earlier start for us! Conditions were more overcast as we made our way back to Deep Cove to disembark at c. 12.30 pm …and dead chuffed with the company both on board and in the water too😉🐬 We then reversed the coach ride and crossing…

Today is the date we had chosen to explore Doubtful Sound in Fiordland. This meant a 1 hr crossing of Lake Manapouri followed by a 45 mins coach ride into the rain forest over the Wilmott Pass before a steep descent into Deep Cove, on the edge of the fiord. At this point, c.3 pm,…

Today, after waking to yet another blue sky day, we said farewell to Aoraki/Mount Cook/Glentanner and headed south west towards Wanaka, deep into the Southern Alps. As we drove along the west shore of Lake Pukaki we were quickly reminded of how aquamarine the water was, how deep blue the sky was and why NZ…

Knowing today was our last in this idyllic place we decided, partly as the weather seemed to turning less good, to have a slow “catch your breath” type day, do some more planning and try to consolidate all the photos we had taken on 2 mobiles and 1 DSLR…of which there were hundreds! It would…
