Some photos of the travels...

Top photo: This is in Doubtful Sound; those folks are on an overnight cruise. We just took the day cruise...

Next: as far south as we got -- near Riverton, South Island, New Zealand.  Beautiful seas --

Wildlife picture -- this is the RARE Fjordland Crested Penguin -- that is only rarely seen here -- and then only in mating season.  We not only got to see him/her -- we were able to snatch some quick pictures -- which accounts for why it is so fuzzy...but what a gift!  Folks on the boat and our hostess were both quite surprised that we saw them.  Just lucky, I guess.

Here is Doubtful Sound from the Wilmot Pass -- next stop down is the underground tunnel to the power plant. Road overland was built in the early '70's at a cost of (sit down) $5 per INCH!!!

Bottom picture is view out our window at the b 'n b...notice low lying cloud layer -- this is typical: the clouds are lower than mtn tops and higher than the tree tops...
