Sorry they aren't in order of travel. We had the most perfect weather for our trip to Doubtful sound. The tour guide commented how lucky we were as these type of days were quite rare, I think he said lucky if they got 50 days a year as calm and sunny as what we had. Dolphins swam alongside the boat and we saw penguins and seals. It was just so magnificent. We even went down into the Manopouri power station under the mountain. Awesome.
cheers for now

  4. Your trip looks great. We did a tour of the South Island in 1989 and we went down into the power station too.

  8. Great photos Marina. 3 friends and I hitch hiked around New Zealand in the mid 70's in our university day. Had a great time but wouldn't do it now! I went to some of these places but it was oh so long ago. Sigh!
