The day dawned clear and bright. Beautiful. 52 degrees and wind at 52 miles an hour. We got up at 5:15 to watch the entry to the fjords. It was soooooooooooo cold.
Milford Sound was a completely different place this morning from when we were here last week in the rain. Really magnificent. Fresh snow on the peaks. Brilliant colors. But because it was not raining so there were not nearly as many waterfalls.
We also were able to go through Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound today. The wind was from the east and so did not present the same safety hazard as last week. The weather socked in with low clouds and fog. Dusky Sound looked like Milford Sound did last week so I didn't take pictures there.
All day was spent out on deck bundled up from the cold. The hot chocolate tasted really good when we finally came in. There were not many who braved the cold with us. Most stayed inside and watched thought the windows.
At dinner we have new tablemates. Elizabeth and Micheal are Cruise Criticers from the UK and were followers of the blog. They know Jack and me very well already and we are having fun learning about them. Our table is the same table with the same servers as last month and again there are only four of us. The other four moved to anytime dinning before we got to meet them.
We are on out way to Dunedin NZ.
The pictures are beautiful..sure wish the weather would have been clear like that when we went through. I am reliving our cruise with your photos on here
