Today we drove for about 3 hrs and got to te ferry dock to catch the 3h ferry ride through the Queen Charlotte Sounds. Now fun fact: a sound is an area of land that was carved by rivers then flooded with water where a fiord is an area carved out by glaciers then flooded with water. So the Milford Sounds are actually fiords! I'm off to Wellington for the night and it should be fun. I met a guy from Calgary and we are kinda chillin together which is crazy cause we can talk about home which makes me want to get there sooner! I am still debating whether or not I want to do the Tongiriri Crossing or not but it will be weather dependent as well as how badly I want my dresser drawer!!
Its now evening here in Wellington which is just a big ol' city and I've decided that I am heading home to Auckland on Tuesday. I tried to do this little hike up to the top of Mt. Victoria and I failed! I am so exhausted that I don't think I would make it up to the top of the crossing. I just want to curl up with a movie and a warm blanket and sleep! So that's what I'm going to do! That way hopefully it will be outbid my system by the time I'm home do I can see everyone and do everything I need to before I leave again!
Beautiful scenery Taryn, you have had quite a tour of southern New Zealand, Seen and did lots so I think that you deserve a rest now.
