We've stayed in Te Anau Great Lakes Holiday Park, a kind of motel with facilities for backpackers and tents as well.

Today we started early to go to the Doubtful Sound with 8 people of the group. The other 12 went to the Milford Sound. I have chosen the Doubtful Sound because it was less touristic and a shorter drive by bus and a longer time on the boats.
First we have done a boat tour on Lake Manapouri and then a trip by bus. We've visited Manapouri Underground Powerstation. We've seen a lot of waterfalls, so we were lucky it has started to rain some days before ;)
Then we boarded another boat on the Doubtful Sounds, really great. We've seen dolphins and a seal. But I was a little nauseous after a while, because it was rough weather and we were heading to the ocean, so my legs felt a bit wobbly. I'm afraid pictures won't be able to show all the beauty properly, so I just inhaled the atmosphere. It has rained a lot, so my red jacket proved it was a good investment. In the afternoon when we returned to Te Anau the sun was shining. Perfect for the barbecue. It was fun to slice all the vegetables and fruit for the salads. 22 person can eat a lot, but unfortunately my 'seasickness' continued in the afternoon.

My 'favourite' television show in New Zealand Pushing Daisies, I've seen it three times, so I've just a little idea what it is about, but at least it was intriguing. Perhaps this is the only show that I've seen more than once, except for the morning news/talk show.
And when I heard the song I was curious if I have the original (Birdhouse in your soul of They might be giants). And of course this song was one of the 4000! songs on my mp3-player.
