On our way back Scott stopped a few times so we could take some pictures. Sometimes he was just passing by really slowly so we had to take the picture from inside the bus.

In the first picture, you can see Helena Falls.

The 2. and 3. are from the lookout over Doubtful Sound.

And on the last three the Spy Valley!Read more

Lake Te Anau and Lake Mistletoe
January 14, 2020 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
After arriving back in Te Anau around 3 pm I just had to fast buy some bread and fuel up, well I don’t need to fuel up actually, but there is no gas station on the way to Milford Sound and I really don’t want to get in trouble, so I fuel up just to be sure!

After that, I went out of Te Anau towards Milford Sound.
The first two pictures are from Lake Te Anau.
I just stopped there on the way to take a look around.

The next stop was at Lake Mistletoe for a short to the Lake. Nice place but I didn’t like that the last part of the track back to the carpark is beside the road 😳Read more

The first two pictures are from the Eglinton Valley and the last pictures from the Mirror Lakes. They should be best to see in the morning because the light is perfect then I heard. So I will Stopp here again, maybe tomorrow morning or on Thursday.

From here it was only two kilometers to my campground for the next 2 nights, Knobs Flat!

A nice little place with a lot of birds around.

I was pretty tired when I came here, so I went for a shower first. Had to wait a while, here are only two showers for all campers so there where already a few people waiting. We used the time to talk about what we did the day and complain about the Sandflys that are pretty nasty here.
Horrible creatures! 🤬

After a nice shower, I was just cooking some pasta fast and talked with some of the other campers.
It’s many people from the UK here tonight.
So we had a nice chat and after that, I went straight to bed.

That was the time when I heard some Keas flying around the campground, but I was too tired to get up and try to see them. That I will do tomorrow!Read more

Milford Sound I
January 15, 2020 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
It is an early morning today again 🙈😴
I had to get up at 6 o’clock today.
I want to be at the Milford Sound Harbour around 8 o’clock and it takes around an hour to drive there, without any stops on the way!
So e had a quick breakfast and was leaving the campground at 7 am.
There where a lot of low clouds hanging around the mountain around me and I got a little bit worried that the weather is not going to so good today. But it was nothing to worry about, as got clear and nice after a few kilometers of driving. 🤗
I can’t say how hard it was for me to not stop at all on the way to Milford Sound 🙈😂
The scenery is sooo amazing here 🤩

I passed the free carpark because there was no sign but I turned around and drove back because I don’t want to pay 10$ per hour!!!! for parking!
That’s obviously new since this summer!
Totally crazy!
That’s why I wanted to be early enough there to make sure to get a place at the free carpark! As this one is a little further away from the terminal there is a free Shuttle provided.
It was still quite many parking places free when I arrived so it was worth it to be here so early! Nice!

I had to wait around 5-10 minutes for the Shuttle to arrive, the Sandflys here are horrible! Nasty little creatures. Who needs them?!
I checked in to my Cruise with Mitre Peak at 8.05.
Pretty early but I can better wait here a while than stress around to get here and find a free carpark.
Boarding was at 8.45 am and I was pleased to see, that our boat is the smallest one of all the boats that are here, at least half as small as the others some are really big.
This time the boat is quite full, but not booked out so it’s not too many people around and luckily also just a few people from Asia. The big group was I saw earlier was luckily booked on the other boat.
At 8.55 we left the Harbour for our 2-hour cruise.Read more

Milford Sound II
January 15, 2020, Tasman Sea ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
The weather is perfect again today and I am so happy that I am so lucky. It is also not so cold today so I could spend the whole cruise outside on the upper deck.
It’s not really warm, but with a jacket, it’s nice to sit there in the sun and enjoy the view.

Milford Sound is much shorter than Doubtful Sound and also not so wild, I think. It is definitely more commercial here, as there are so many tour operators here.
Mitre Peak is the operetor with the smallest boat but the longest cruise. When we left Milford Sound into the Tasman Sea we saw that all the other boats were turning around and going back inside the Sound while we were really leaving the Sound and was passing a little bit along the coastline!
We saw a small cave there as well.
Our skipper is all the time driving really close up to some special parts of the Sound. There is, for example, the Copper Point, which is named after his very high deposits of copper. You could see the lines of copper in the rock.
He also was driving really close to all the small waterfalls we saw on the way. As the weather has been so good the last couple of days they are pretty small now, if it’s raining they should get really impressive with a lot of water falling down. To be honest, I prefer good weather with smaller waterfalls 😉Read more

Milford Sound III
January 15, 2020 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
On the way back we cruised along the other side of the Sound so we good get a good view of both sides of Milford Sound!

We saw some fur seals as well. A few were laying on a rock but around 10 or maybe, even more, were in the water playing around. Or maybe not playing, the deckhand told us, that this is juveniles, kicked out from their colony so they come here to get adults. They have actually a quite bad digestive tract that’s why they are eating some stones and then they are rolling around on the water, like these ones did, to move the stones around to break up their meal so it’s easier for them. Pretty clever and now I know, that they are not playing around.Read more
