It was the perfect day for the trip to Doubtful Sound, which turned out to be incredibly gorgeous! First a boat ride across Lake Manapouri, then an excursion down the powerstation there, before we rode a bus through the mountains and snowy forests to Doubtful. The cruise couldn&#8217;t have been any better &#8211; we even saw a school of dolphins at play. Simply an amazing day, and I ended it by watching a couple of movies in our dorm room with two German girls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shirasade\/2639675689\/\" title=\"Doubtful Sound by shirasade, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3012\/2639675689_786b8c7260_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"Doubtful Sound\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shirasade\/2640508134\/\" title=\"Doubtful Sound by shirasade, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3121\/2640508134_e37116c433_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"Doubtful Sound\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shirasade\/2640505686\/\" title=\"Doubtful Sound by shirasade, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3174\/2640505686_7598a204e5_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"Doubtful Sound\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shirasade\/2639684627\/\" title=\"Doubtful Sound by shirasade, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3043\/2639684627_7b4bdaa51d_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"Doubtful Sound\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the photo album here on the site doesn&#8217;t seem to work, you can see the rest of the pictures <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/shirasade\/sets\/72157603121222878\/\" target=\"new\">here <\/a>on Flickr.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m taking it easy here in Te Anau &#8211; my bus to Queenstown only leaves at 5pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday evening, after seeing a short scenic movie about Fiordland, I went to see the Glowworm Caves on the other side of Lake Te Anau.
