I wasn’t expecting much when the itinerary said we would cruise through Milford, Doubtful, and Dusky Sounds but there would be no landfalls today. So what I woke up to this morning was majestic mountains rising from the blue green waters of the sea.
The sun was just shining through as I stepped out on my balcony this morning. I was overwhelmed with the beauty before me.
We were entering Milford Sound, where the Maori, the native people of New Zealand, believed had been carved by a godly mason.
At every pass was a breathtaking mountain view or waterfall.
The peaks of the mountains were covered in snow.
As the sunlight began to reflect on the water it turned from deep blue to turquoise.
Later in the morning we entered Thompson Sound and followed it through to Doubtful Sound.
Our last Sound was Dusky Sound where we caught a few seals lounging in the sun.
What a magnificent day!
