I love it here: the views, the quiet, the birds, the waterfalls, the cliffs, the dramatic sky, the wilderness--it's one of the most special places I've ever been.
The weather has cooperated thus far. Our cruise this morning was a bit chilly but clear, allowing us to see all the way to the glaciered peaks of the fiords. We also saw dolphins and seals, which was a treat. We also got a great discount on our cruise because we're staying at the Lodge (only $40 instead of $64).
It is a bit cold at night, but we hired some extra blankets from reception, so we'll survive. It's well worth it to experience the Sound overnight, instead of with the tour bus crowd (quite the circus!).
I'm actually sneaking free internet right now. I want to upload more photos, but that might be cheeky. If nothing else, I'll add some once we get to Te Anau. (And yes, I actually took these--the place is fantastically photogenic).
Happy New Year!
Love,
Ames
