Well it was more rain that awaited us along the way!
But that didnt dampen our spirits as it made the road to the sounds pretty impressive as it set a mist over the mountains and waterfalls were sprouting up left, right and center because of the intensity of the downpour.
We were originally going to stay in the sounds 2 nights, but we only stayed there one as literally there is nothing to do there. The hostel was surprisingly massive but it is the only cheap place in the sounds - however the kitchen was tiny compared to the amount of people cooking in it and it took us 2 hours to finally cook a bit of pasta, grrrr!
We got up bright and early the following day to go on our sounds cruise - tip if anyone ever goes there - do the 9 am one as its cheaper and you get a free breakfast!
The cruise was awesome, not only did we see bottle nose dolphins along the way, we were treated to a misty scenery with waterfalls gushing down from every angle, and that was the 1st day in a while they were able to do so. Absolutly wonderful and eery with the mist setting over the mountains!
The drive back from the sounds was even better than the drive in as it was even more eery and there were more waterfalls, but the views over the mountains were just too misty so we couldnt see much, but good fun all in all!
