Doubtful Sound

... behind (the other 70 people on the ferry were all staying on one big boat) and board our 10 berth boat. As with the rest of New Zealand it wasn't very busy and we soon discovered that there were only 4 passangers on the boat... so we had loads of room. ...
MILF

The start of the South Island road trip

Asians and dinosaurs
... a short hike through a lush forest. The size of the flora was reminiscent of the Jurassic era and when we heard that New Zealand is home to many species previously thought extinct, we came to the only logical conclusion; dinosaurs still walk among us. We ...
Fiordland or bust
... Claire's dogs and get chased away by a mother hen with chicks. OK, we'll go check out the boat dock and drive up to Te Anau then. The grocery in Te Anau is great fun. We find Shoo for the sandflies here, so we don't have to haul the ...

Production line & Activities
... you feel safe but somehow just made you feel like they didn't care. Al thought this place had seemed particularly weird, New Zealand does have a generally much more relaxed attitude to Health and Safety and apparently you can't really sue here. They ...
Very sure about Doubtful sound
We had to be up nice and early to do the 2 and a half hour drive down to the small town of Manapouri where we would be heading out to Doubtful Sound from. We left in the pitch black at 7.30am and even when the sun rose, the fog and low cloud blocked ...

Kepler challenge

Flooded caves, landslides and a sunny lakeside
... holiday. But the main reason that people come here is as a base to visit Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and begin some of New Zealand's long-distance walking tracks. Yesterday's rain didn't seem terribly bad in Queenstown (though it meant I didn't go up ...
Doubtful Sound

Te Anau – Nothing Oh sweet nothing…
Te Anau – ein kleiner Ort im Nirgendwo. Abgesehen von der Lage ein bisschen wie Kaikoura. Kaum population aber alles für Touristen vorhanden: Shops, Cafés,… Nur halt See statt Pazifik. Dafür aber auch schneebedeckte Gipfel im Panorama ...
