Doubtful Sound
17 lutego 2020, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Montag Morgen, Abfahrt war um 07:10 Uhr nach Manapouri. Von dort aus startete die Tour zum Doubtful Sound. Der Doubtful Sound ist ein Meeresarm im Fiordland Nationalpark und wird auch gerne als „The Sound of Silence“ bezeichnet. Er ist mit 420 Metern der tiefste Fjord in Neuseeland und mit 40 Kilometern Länge der zweitlängste. Seine Umgebung ist unberührt , beeindruckend und beheimatet grandiose Wasserfälle (vor allem zur Regenzeit). Wie bei anderen Fjorden in dieser Gegend gibt es hier zwei abgetrennte Wasserschichten, die sich nicht vermischen. An der Oberfläche befindet sich Süsswasser, das über die umliegenden Berge abläuft. Die untere Schicht besteht aus Salzwasser vom Meer. Da das Sonnenlicht nur sehr schwer durch die verschiedenen Schichten dringen kann, gedeihen viele Tiefseelebewesen, wie zum Beispiel schwarze Korallen in relativ flachem Wasser. Vom Wilmot Pass erhielten wir einen spektakulären Ausblick auf den Doubtful Sound und die Umliegenden Berge. Czytaj więcej

DAY THIRTYFOUR
18 marca, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Today Invercargil, where it was a misty cold damp 10 degrees to Manapouri and sunshine no wind and a lovely 16 degrees. Was so nice to get the chairs out of the boot and sit outside for our coffee. Anyway to back track on the trip here. First stop the beautiful Invercargill Queens Gardens where I was keen to see 'The Stumpery'. So we set off in the drizzle to find this intriguing use of storm damaged trees, old railway sleepers, and ancient roots from peat bogs. Sorry not to spend more time in these beautiful gardens, but the weather wasn't favorable for a walk/ride through on this visit. So back on the road and a coastal drive through Riverton, Colac Bay, Gemstone Bay (no, just some pretty pebbles) and Tuatapere. Yep sausages for the freezer, and last stop Clifden suspension bridge. When built in 1899 it was the longest suspension bridge in NZ. So quite a short but very interesting drive today. Photos will confirm. Enjoy. 1-4 Gardens. 5 Riverton Got to be quick with the camera when spotting these gems along the way. 6-11 Colac Bay. The surfer welcoming visitors. Spot the smiling house. You might get a bargain here if looking for a beach house!
The yellow school bus shelter needs a lick of paint. Colourful loos.
12-15 Gemstone Beach house on the crumbling cliff. Zoom in on 15 and see what's behind the circular hole in the rock
The final photo is a view coming in to Manapouri. Czytaj więcej

I hope you all spotted the smiley face on the old house yesturday. It was much more distinctive last visit about 7 yrs ago. Beautiful day in Manapouri today.
. The lake is calm and looking stunning. We are sooo enjoying the sun and lack of wind. Nothing to report really. Apart from a short ride to the wharf to check out parking for tomorrow and a wee 2km wetland walk behind camp it was a day for house work and R and R. Looking forward to our 7.30am cruise in the Sounds tomorrow. Weather is looking promising.🤞 Czytaj więcej

DAY THIRTY SEVEN
20 marca, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
Well we sure are buzzing after an absolutely wonderful day cruising Doubtful Sounds. It was so worth the early start and setting off in the cold and dark. The tour involved a 45min cruise to the Manapouri underground power station, then a bus ride of about the same time to Deap Cove where we got on to the ferry taking us into Doubtful Sound. We then cruised for about 3hrs from Deep Cove right out to the Tasman sea and the entrance to the sounds. Amazingly a colony of sea lions have made their home on a tiny rocky island right at the entrance. It was a bit misty and cloudy for a while which affected the photography but once the sun came out so did the cameras. The highlight of the day was stopping, turning off the boat engines, telling everyone to be quiet and no movement. We sat in the quiet and stillness for a good 5 or 6 minutes. No cell phones, no traffic, no lawnmowers, just us and nature. Majestic mountains covered in beautiful green bush and the deep blue calm mirror like water making fabulous reflections.
I found the experience very special, quite moving and unique. Anyway enjoy my/our photos. Czytaj więcej

Manapouri
5 maja, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Just as a change from heavy frost, we woke up to a pea souper fog. It took a wee while for the sun to burn it off and then it was glorious weather, including some very pretty clouds.
We packed up the caravan, hitched up and got on our way to Manapouri. At least that's what we planned! A nice straight forward run through. Not what fate had in store for us!
Driving along the gravel road quite happily, when there was a bang! Blowout in one of our brand new tyres on the ute! Bugger!! Paul had all my sympathy as he did the change. We've not had to do that especially on this vehicle and all the gear you need is stashed in secret hidey holes where you would least expect!! After about an hour we were ready to get under way and made it to Manapouri without any more problems! Czytaj więcej

Manapouri

Arrived at Manapouri around 3pm. Quite a good drive but lack of cafes due to the holiday. The camp here is great. All bays separated by hedges. Have the option of power using Kiwicash key fob. $10 for 24 hours if power. That makes it $20 per night all up compared with $40 - $50 per night in a holiday park. The scenery (the hills around) is an amazing backdrop. It is also very quiet. We will stay here for 3 nights. Czytaj więcej

Spent the day around Manapoui today. A walk along the beach with Neo and a walk around the reserve by the camp. Was supposed to rain today but it never eventuated. Tried to contact Murrell family of Murrells Grand View House but they are not available. Czytaj więcej

Manapouri 2
Wczoraj, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ 🌙 8 °C
We've had a quiet couple of days. Yesterday was pretty much a cleaning and maintenance day. Laundry was high on the agenda as was a vacuum and wipe down throughout the caravan. With all the dusty roads we've been on it was filthy! Gas bottle needed to be filled etc,etc. We did find time to do a tiki tour around Manapouri and Te Anau. We found a few familiar places including Katharine (my sister) and Bernard's crib.
Today we did a flying trip to Invercargill to get our blown out tyre replaced. Carters are going to get the damaged one checked to see what went wrong which is really good.
We managed to fit in lunch with my long time friend (school friend) Maria. So very cool to catch up!!
Heading back to Manapouri we asked Google to plot the route and clever her took us through the country roads where I lived my early life!! Lots of good reminiscing.
Tomorrow maybe Milford Sound? Czytaj więcej

Podróżnik I forgot to mention that we bought pies in Te Anau for dinner. Thoroughly recommend Miles Better Pies. They were very tasty. Paul had venison and blue cheese and I had lamb and mint. We followed them up with a cheeky apple and blueberry number! Slept very well!!
