One of many waterfalls on the way to, and all the way through, Doubtful Sound. Our guide said that, when it's rainy, there are hundreds of waterfalls. He said someone counted over twelve hundred one time, but I'm not sure I buy that.
Pat and Libby with some trees and landscape and such.
One of the weird ass birds that is native to New Zealand, the takahe, which is flightless and awfully friendly. One could almost literally walk up and take a bite out of one of these birds. Sorry the picture sucks, it was as close as we could get and there was no way around the chain link fence.
Molly and JF with Doubtful Sound in the background.
Pretty much the same picture as before, but sans Canadians. Interesting note, I've heard that Doubtful Sound isn't actually a sound, it's a fjord (which they spell fiord in NZ) because it was formed by glaciers.
One of the many peaks visible from the water in Doubtful Sound.
The hydroelectric plant situated between the lake and the sound. This is as exciting as it gets.
Pat and JF sporting their rain gear. Rain gear is awfully vital if one is planning on visiting just about everywhere we saw in New Zealand.
