NZ west coast

Went cruising around the beautiful south island, Milford, Doubtful and Dusky sound. Some places are only accessible by boat. Lot of water running down the hills as they just had the left over cyclone the week before.



16min video. Lots of nice places but some funky camera angles so get the voltaren out and don't sprain your neck. Enjoy.

That's a fairly big dinghy, Marc We walked the Milford Track late last year (in rain, hail and sleet the whole way) and it was spectacular.

Yeah it's a big ship, very stable. ~350m long and 40m up so the views are pretty good. A walk in there would be pretty challenging. It's very steep everywhere.

Too cold for frogs I reckon. Yeah it was great to get away. Love NZ. Going back next year. Lots of wineries in Napier. Got some port from there. Went to visit the Weta workshop with all the movie props in Wellington. Dunedin was nice too.
