New Zealand 27/2/18

Entering Milford Sound shortly after 7am

Much of today is devoted to cruising in to and out of three fjords, known as “sounds :- 1) MILFORD SOUND 2) DOUBTFUL SOUND & 3) DUSKY SOUND. The sun rise had that salmon tint which I didn’t quite manage to capture on my phone or camera. Nevertheless, we were greeted by the most dramatic of backdrops.

Again, uncharacteristically for me, I took my first of several photographs at 07.00 hrs, having crawled out of bed just 10 minutes before. Needless to say, I was, by no means, the first outside; most of the decent vantage points being occupied by photographers with bulky camera gear.

Yesterday, the second sea day from Sydney, continued to be choppy and dull. I have caught the “Cunard cough” an inconvenient condition I am told is caused by the air conditioning. I visited the ship’s doctor who prescribed a course of antibiotics….The consultation costing a further $80 USD!

We shall be cruising by this wonderful scenery until around 5pm, during which time, I will keep taking photographs.

Time for breakfast!

With good wishes to those following this “blog”.
