1) realisation that we will have to come back - not enough time in fiordland and we haven't touched Abel Tasman or done a great walk (but have done many other great things!)
2) frantic booking of things we thought we could fit in before we go to Oz.
That used up most if yesterday afternoon (well that and a small nap did anyway!)
Today we went on a wildlife cruise of Doubtful Sound which was very spooky as the cloud came down but it cleared in the afternoon so we could see how stunning it is. Made it out to the Tasman Sea and Martyn took loads more photos - thank goodness for digital cameras that's all I can say - we'd need to remortgage the house if we were doing this trip on film!
On the way back we took a trip down to see the Manapouri power station which is built underneath a mountain. Now you will remember that Martyn is not a fan of caving so I was a little surprised he suggested this but apparently being as a bus fitted down the long 1 in 10 entrance tunnel that was 2km long it was okay! Personally I think his desire to see large engineering type gadgets over ruled the whole 'deep underground' thing!
Just on way back across lake Manapouri now and then on to Te Anau.
