Today, the group didn’t go to any farms or learn anything about
agriculture; today, we were strictly tourists! We first took an hour or so boat
ride, where we had to disembark and take a bus over the Milford pass. At the
top of the hill, we saw snow, and it snows there 300 days of the year. We then
got on another boat and sailed around Doubtful Sound, which is not a Sound but
a Fiord and was inaccurately named. A Fiord is carved out by a glacier while a
sound is formed by erosion. The Sound goes all the way from the inland at
Manapouri to the Tasman Sea. On the cruise, we saw waterfalls, rainbows,
beautiful lush mountains, and a beautiful sunset over the water.
