Shower anyone?

Te Anau was a two hour drive from our campsite and Milford Sound was two hours beyond Te Anau. The road is paved but narrow and requires a trip through a one way tunnel, which is controlled by a traffic signal. Plenty of time was allowed so that we would not miss our 3:30 reservation for a Milford Sound cruise. Milford Sound is part of Fjordlands National Park. The famous Milford Track (big hike) is located here as well as many other less known tracks. Even in the rain -which it does more often than not here- it was lovely. Narrow channels with sheer rock faces greeted us. More waterfalls than I could count, tumble down the rocks. As the grand finale to the tour the captain nuzzles the boat as close as possible to one of the cascades, while encouraging passengers to stand on the deck to feel the power of the spray. Yeah, sure I was not born yesterday and no way was I going to feel the power and get drenched. Love Bird Laura tried it but stayed fairly dry. Hmmm but had anyone seen Greg? Well,the Big Fella went to the upper deck and experienced the full impact of the spray. He came in dripping and claimed it was great! Uh huh so why do you look like a beached sea lion? What he really needed at this point was a cup of hot coffee and some dry clothes. Dried off and refreshed we made the trek back through the one way tunnel to Te Anau where we stayed for the night. After a fabulous meal -Italian pizza made by "real Italians" our beds were calling and it was off to dreamland.
