The last month.

Mon 20th Sept

Up early and left Elvis with friends at the POP ,fred and Magoo,and off we headed on our journry to Doubtful Sound................
First up caught a bus to Manapouri pickup outside the POP and thenb transferred to a Boat .we were squished on like sardines and spent an hour or so cruising lake Manapouri .It was raining lightly but quite nice and fairly warm.Off the boat at the other end of the lake to be met by 2Kea who were partying hard at the visiotos centre for the power station.Our journey continued by coach deep underground to Manapouri Power Station which was huge and very cool.again back on coach and headed out to the sound via Wilmot Pass.To my utter delight the pass was waist deep in snow and had bween cleared spo we could continue our journey.We got out and made snow angels and had a snowball fight and then out to the sound.By the time we got there it was lunchtime and weather was sunny and warm??????????????????????????$ seasons in one day.
Doubtful was just mind numbingly beautiful and tranquil.I have seen Milford Sound too but had to say Doubtful was my fave.we saw seals and dolphins and penguins again yeah.Shane spent a lot of time schmuuzing with people which was cute,lol.
We finally headed back and got back to the pop at about 5:30 and packed up and headed off back on our journey up to Nelson.We spent the night exhausted at Kingston parked in the pub carpark with another van.
