Day 40; Monday February 14, 2011
We rounded the southern tip of New Zealand and are sailing along the west coast.
Today is a scenic cruise day along the waterways of Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound. Most of the area in uninhabited and is a wildlife preserve it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We’re traveling along one of the most beautiful parks in the world. The park covers around 10% of New Zealand with many islands, mountains. Glaciers carved the area around 15,000 years ago.
This area is magnificent. I may have to stop working this morning so I can take it all in.
Since we are not docked or going to shore, today is considered a sea day for us and consequently, I will have a class at two. It’s Valentine’s Day today and we have another formal night along with a ball in the Queen’s Lounge.
From here we sail north to Tasmania so we have two more days at sea. More adventures to come.
