4 - - New Zealand - - Queenstown, Milford Sound and Glenorchy

 

 

Heading south toward Milford Sound

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Kia is not necessarily a Korean car

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our tour boat on Milford Sound

 

 

A foggy cruise departure

 

Out into the sound

 

 

It had rained 48 mm in the past 24 hours

 

 

Which fed the brief waterfalls - - our timing was perfect

 

And the ship had only five passengers

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cathy helped the captain navigate

 

 

We could see why Captain Cook never realized the sound was here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our stop for the underwater viewing

 

 

The ship that would take us on back

 

 

Yes, it rains a bit here

 

 

Heading down below

 

 

40 ft deep here is like the ocean at several hundred

 

 

 

 

 

 

One last waterfall

 

 

Then back into port

 

 

And back through the tunnel

 

 

Another Kia

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read the reflection

 

 

 

 

Back in Queenstown for the evening

 

North to Glenorchy

 

What could I say?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We're here

 

 

 

 

in time for breakfast

 

 

 

 

 

Heading back toward Queenstown

 

 

 

 

This is the "Lord of the Rings" beach

 

 

where the Fellowship of the ring broke up

 

 

Fellow hikers

 

 

 

 

Back to Queenstown again

 

 

Bidding goodbye to New Zealand

 

 

and heading to Australia
