It is worth cruising to New Zealand just to travel through the Sounds (NZ for Fiords). They are some of the most spectacular scenery that you will ever see. The top photo shows Dad ready to fill up more space on the camera with yet more images of waterfalls and cliffs. You can see that it was pretty cold at the time. It was just after dawn when we entered Milford Sound on "Voyager of the Seas" and the decks were full of people in arctic gear. Why was Dad's hood pushed way back on his head? It was because it kept falling down in front of his eyes just as he was ready to get that special photo :) The bottom photo was taken in Dusky Sound. This sound is not as narrow as Milford and, unlike Milford, you can enter it from either end. Cruise ships often pass one another in there. Scruffy and I are watching "Dawn Princess" go by. As you can see, Voyager is a much bigger ship; but I wouldn't mind cruising on one of the Princesses sometime (Dad take note).
