No Sound

After a restless night with very high winds we arrived in Te Anau.

After checking out Information we headed to the specially design local cinema where a movie about Fiordland (the region we were in - including Milford and Doubtful Sounds) is played. The movie was good, the guy who filmed it (its has no dialogue) flies his own helicopters and caught some awesome footage. I ended up buying the dvd believing it to be a good investment.

Since the weather hadn't cleared and showed no signs of getting any better we abandoned the idea of visiting Milford Sound (Mum deciding that she will just come back in Summer) and had lunch on the side of Lake Manapouri.

The afternoon was then spent once again crossing the island as we returned to the eastern coast and spent the night outside Dunedin.
