Milford Sound IV
15 stycznia 2020, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
We then went to Sterling Falls ( 2. picture) where the boats are actually able to drive into the waterfall. Some people are so crazy to stand there in front of the boat and under the waterfall 🙈😂
I am not doing this!
But I strayed on the upper deck and got wet as well as the water is splashing around so much! It was actually really cool!

We then went into Harrison Cove where some people left the boat who had booked a tour in the Underwater Observatory.
From here you have a really nice view to Mount Pembroke, one of the highest mountains in the fiord at 2025m and the last remaining glacier visible from Milford Sound.
This is a tenant of the glacier which once carved its way through the fiord. It is also the water source for Stirling Falls.

Mitre Peak, 1692m high, is one of the highest mountains in the world that raise directly from the ocean floor. It is also called bishop’s mitre or head-dress, as it often has a cloud around its top, you can see on the 3. picture. He dressed up for us on the way back 😉

And then we were already almost back at the terminal.
We could get a nice view of the Bowen Falls as we were driving into the Harbour.

It was a really nice your and I was definitely deciding for the right operator. Unfortunately, there were no dolphins around today, but our skipper said, that already yesterday they didn't see any dolphins. That's how it is!

Arriving at the terminal showed me, why it was a good decision to do the first your in the morning, it was so full now, so many buses and so many people everywhere! 😳
I was so happy that I could leave now!
I had to wait around 10 minutes for the shuttle back to my car and then I was leaving Milford Sound with the plan to stop as often as possible! Czytaj więcej

The Chasm
15 stycznia 2020, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
The first small walk was at The Chasm.
I saw a Kea jumping over the carpark when I drove onto it but unfortunately, the Kea was already gone until I had parked the car. 😕
I don't have luck with them. I did not see a single Kea until now and there are supposed to be so many here.

Well, I will keep on trying to find one.

The Chasm is really cool, it's a waterfall through amazing shaped rocks. I can't really describe it.
But you can see it in the pictures. Czytaj więcej

It took a few more stops on the way. Also at Monkeys Creek where you should usually see a lot of Keas, not a single one while I was there. 😕
Still, the scenery is incredible also without a Kea!

Falls Creek
15 stycznia 2020, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
The next short walk for me was more a climb. You can see the Falls Creek from a carpark beside the road but you can also climb up the hill for like 20 min to come to the upper part of the waterfall. If I haven't seen the couple that was going up there I would not do the track! It's was extremely steep, muddy and not a real track at all to be honest.
But so I knew I am not alone on the track so somebody could help me is something should happen.
It was a tuff climb but so worth it!
The way down was almost worse than up 🙈
But I got up and down without any problems.

As the next point on my to-do list, I had the walk to Lake Marian. I also started the walk but was not feeling good at all already from the beginning. And got pretty bad after around 20 min so that I was turning around, going back to my car and driving straight back to the campground. Absolutely the right decision as I got really bad when I arrived at the campground.
So I had a calm afternoon, luckily I got better pretty fast again and didn’t felt bad anymore through out the rest of the day!
I will give the Lake Marian another try tomorrow. Czytaj więcej

Key Summit Track I
16 stycznia 2020, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Today I feel really good again so I will do some walks here before I leave the Milford Sound area.
At first, I had a really good breakfast together with a couple from the Netherlands and one couple from France. And there were a lot of Keas around again, but we mostly heard them, they just passed flying once.

The first walk for today is the Key Summit Track. The first part of the track is actually a part of the Routeburn Track, one of the great walks in New Zealand. As they are so expensive here and also booked out I can’t do them, even though I would love to do especially the Routeburn Track.
But at least I can walk a part of it at this end of the track. The track is really nice and easy to walk on, the climb up on the hill is also not too bad, actually, I thought it was quite easy, but I noticed on the way back, that it was not so easy for many other people 🙈😬
I think I am in good shape now 💪🏼

I reached the top of Key Summit after 1 hour and 5 minutes.
Up there are some wetlands, which is pretty cool to see so far up on a mountain, it’s around 1800m above sea level.
From here I had a nice view of the sourdough ding mountains!
Really nice.

The walk back was also nice a deadly so I finished the whole track in 2 hours and 10 minutes.
I felt very energetic as I arrived at the carpark so I drove straight away to my next walking track for today 😊😉 Czytaj więcej

Lake Marian I
16 stycznia 2020, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
I took a small break at the car park to eat a piece of bread with peanut butter and some peaches and then I started the walk up to Lake Marian, the one I started yesterday when I had to turn around.
Good that I did the Key Summit Track first! This is not a walk, it's more a climb up the hill😳
It was a really tuff track or I better call it a path because was not a track at all.
To climb up and around rocks like a goat in the mountains 🙈😂
Around halfway up I was hitting my knee on a rock a d that was not helpful for the rest of the track.
It got pretty blue quite fast 😬
But it wasn’t too bad so I could keep ongoing.

After 1 1/2 hours, I was finally reaching Lake Marian and the view was stunning!! It was so worth it to climb up all the way. Czytaj więcej

Lake Marian II
16 stycznia 2020, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
I think I stayed here for like 20 minutes or so, just relaxing the muscles, eating a little bit and enjoying the view. Then it was time to get back to my car again, I can’t say I was looking forward to walking back all the way 🙈😂

It was going surprisingly good on the way back. In total, the Track took me 2 hours and 40 minutes plus the 20 minutes break at the lake. Not so bad actually.
I can’t say I felt energetic when I arrived at the carbs I now 🙈😂

Now it was time to get back to civilization.
I went to Manapouri where I will stay one night.
I found a nice campground with a lot of space and stuff a German couple there with whom I spend the whole evening together. Czytaj więcej
