Today we headed into Fiordland National park, one of New Zealand’s most beautiful and untouched locations. It has stunning valleys, lakes and mountain scenery! I’m not overreacting, I definitely loved this part the most of my New Zealand journey!
Within Fiordland we visited the magnificent Doubtful sound, deepest of all fjords, for a truly magical cruise experience surrounded by towering peaks and unspoiled wilderness. We had to take a ferry to the island, then we hopped on a bus that took an hour to take us to the cruise ship. On the boat we shared a small sleeping cabin with 4 people. They had a restaurant on board where we sat most of the time enjoying the free food and drinks or we where outside on the deck to take in all beauty the surrounding had to offer. In the afternoon we could join an awesome kayak trip. They had really cool tiny yellow kayaks! I definitely thought I would fall into the water haha. Luckily, I survived without topping over! It was the best part of this boat trip. Just to paddle in the middle of nowhere with such an atmosphere cannot be described. It was absolutely breathtaking! I felt so peaceful, like I was the only one out there. Surrounded by the sounds of the Forrest. Hmm take me back please! Haha
After 45 min paddling and taking many photos we had to get back on board. I took a nice and warm shower. What I thought was a really good idea. Until I noticed that the waves where so rough! When I tried to put on my undies I just fell in the shower haha. It was hard to keep my balance and I got nauseous in the small room. I felt really see-sick afterward and asked the crew on board what to do. They told my I should eat ginger with sugar. The most terrible thing I have ever eaten! But hey.. it helped! So that was great!!
We were all very curious about dinner! We were told that it would be the best food we would eat during our Stray journey through New Zealand! Well they were right! There was a big buffet with lots of tasty food choices! We had so much fun during dinner. It was absolutely lovely to have those belly shaking laughing moments with great company! Thank you Jesus for this awesome day! Time to try out that small bed in the sleeping cabin. Good night everyone.
