Sounds abound



Today as we woke up we realized that we won't be on N.Zed soil anymore this trip. But we still get to see it as we are sailing thru the Fjords today. Early today we saw Dusky Sound, then Doubtful Sound (so named as Captain Cooks expedition was doubtful they would find their way out-they did) and then Milford Sound. It looks a bit different today as there is some rain and more clouds. But the rain means that all the waterfalls are going strong, hundreds of them ribboning down the near vertical walls. Quite beautiful. As we left the sound we pointed our bow away from N.Z. and are ready to cross the Tasman Sea to Australia. This will take the next two days. And at the moment it is a bit of a ride as there are some good waves out there and wind as well. Everyone on the ship walks like they've had a couple of drinks to many. It is amazing that the waiters do such a great job while we shimmy, shake and roll. (oh-we also had a huge brunch this a.m. with just about averything imaginable. Hide the scale!)
