Beautiful, peaceful, idyllic Doubtful Sound

Apparently we struck it lucky and got the most amazing weather...rather than the usual rain in Fiordland. The guides tell us this view hadn't been seen for two months. The journey to Doubtful Sounds involved a one hour boat ride across Lake Manapouri and then a 40 minute van ride to get into the Doubtful Sounds to board the boat.

 Our boat for the two day trip and our penthouse cabin on top.

 Stunning scenery

 Getting ready for fishing

One of our jobs on the boat was to catch fish for dinner.

 

 Here is Josh our van driver/chef/diver heading down under to catch our dinner.

 Here is his haul..so many huge crayfish.

Cooked up and ready to eat an hour or so later.

As the sun goes down the stars came out. I have never seen so many stars and it was breathtaking lying in our beds and looking at the stars above.

Another treat the following morning was having a pod of bottlenose dolphins following us.

Another beautiful day to finish the trip.
