More Gorgeous Scenery

After leaving Te Anau yesterday, we made it through the stunning mountains, including a single lane tunnel over a kilometer long, until we found ourselves at Milford Sound. One of the prime tourist destinations in NZ, it was rainy and foggy for us. No dolphins, no sea lions, and no penguins. Poop.

After that, we backed tracked through the tunnel to our turn off for Gunn's Camp, where we spent the night. It's very isolated, with wood stoves for heat, gas stoves for meals, and a part-time generator for power. It was cold enough that I wouldn't have been surprised to see snow when I stumbled out this morning.

We backtracked all the way to Te Anau, which we've just left on our way further south. I wonder what magnificence awaits us today.

So long [for now] and thanks for all the fish. ✌️Read more
