July 14

Top of the even' to ya'!

Today was pretty cool. After the usual morning rot, we drove for about three hours through the Southern Alps till we reached Milford Sound. Now, Milford Sound is a beautiful fiord that is a home to highly endangered Southern Fur Seals, Crested Penguins, and Bottlenose Dolphins. We got on our mini cruise ship and took an hour and a half tour of the sound including seeing both the seals and dolphins. The fiord was truly awesome with it's nearly verticle, nearly kilometer high walls and numerous waterfalls because of all the rain. After that, we drove back to the town of Te Auno where we're staying, got an excellant dinner, and came back here to post.

I'll do my best to post tommorrow. Only seven more days till we're back in the states :(

That's it,

The Russet Manuka
