After an early start, a two and a half hour coach ride, a 40 minute ferry ride, another bus ride and 2 blizzards we arrive at Doubtful Sound. This place is seriously out of the way. No one lives around here and the only boat that goes up and down the fiord regulary is the "Navigator". She picks you up just after lunch and tottles around the fiord for about 24 hours.
This place was simply beautiful. Because the boat only had 50 odd people on it and because we were the only ones there, the surroundings created a magical sense of hushed awe - looked like Jurassic Park! As pictures tell a thousand words I'll stop talking now.
When the waters were still you got some brilliant mirror images.
More canny water effects.
We also saw plenty of Kea - they're a native alpine parrot. They only live here.
