The Milford Sound, a cruise of the Routeburn improvised

The Milford Sound, one of the most visited parts of New Zealand.

is the day of the end of our hiking Routeburn we wanted to go to Milford Sound. We're going as planned. We stop at the campsite where we spend the night. A moment of madness takes us, it was so beautiful (and it happens not often in this corner is very very rainy) we took two tickets for a cruise in the fjords! That party is embraque in 10 minutes!
is truly majestic!

A vertex is called the Mitre Peak because it is reminiscent of a Myrtle archbishop. It is almost 2000m high, how stiff! Lots of exclamation points in my sentences but the place is justified.

The boat trip is scheduled for 2:30, the time to enjoy the scenery. We begin by seeing dolphins at the beginning of the bay. What a surprise to see these animals in a very green water. The water is rich in microorganisms because of the amount of freshwater that enters the fjord.

The fjord is filled with waterfalls everywhere. Although we are a great day, waterfalls continue to flow. But soon a good portion of them will disappear for a few hours before the next downpour.

Here is a boat of the same company, it gives you a bit wide.

There are a lot of life in these places. We see sea lions basking on the rocks on the pill. We see yellow-eyed penguins that look like penguins (those with their big yellow eyebrows).

 

La croisière finie, on ne regrette vraiment pas, ça valait le coup d’œil. Je ne pense pas qu’un jour pluvieux ça vaille autant la peine, la vue est plus belle depuis la côte. 

Voici d’ailleurs les photos du lendemain où le temps est un peu moins clément !

Marilyne really wanted this picture because Villard is on the 45th but on the other side of the planet ;-)

A quick stop at Mirror Lake where managers have the imagination to the panels.

Rando, a shower-cons heart

New Zealand is famous for its wild aspect. It attracts many tourists who come to hike in the country, and we are a part. A few years ago, DOC (Department of Conservation) has developed or improved roads existing rank in the top ten best roads in New Zealand they are called the "great walks" (Funky steps). These hikes are indeed spectacular. Given the success, the DOC held a reservation system of shelters that dot to regulate the flow. So we booked for this hike, the Routeburn, for three months (the Kepler also where we will go in a week). It's a bit difficult to design for the French having to book for walking in the mountains but ...

So we are for three days with our bags and shoes back on feet. That morning it rains like 200 days out of 365 in this region where it rains 8000mm per year (8m! Nearly ten times more than in Paris!). It equips a little more than usual left to look like a hunchback and a troll :-)

The rain has caused flooding streams and waterfalls becoming rock'n'roll to cross. Yes, it's hard to keep your feet dry with water up to their knees.

But this water also creates waterfalls or magnify existing fact giving the surrounding landscape from the air magic. This is the case with this 174m high waterfall that made a terrifying noise and creates its own wind up so much water there is.

We spend the first night under canvas. They brought plastic sheeting to protect themselves a little more, what a beautiful facility.

We're pretty happy with us once wrapped in our sleeping bags at dry with a good cast of noodles in the stomach. It remains dry until a terrible wind starts to blow with a rainfall rather than swing. We hear the gusts of wind blowing through the treetops like an avalanche of noise before we melt it. That's when our wings and cover the canvas of the tent sticks cons us to share all the water flowing above. Needless to say we were very wet. The quilts have come to take on water, then the bottom of the tent too, so ... it folds! Despite the late hour or early morning, I do not know how you can say for 2-3hours in the morning they dismantled everything to go under a shelter nearby. There is a son of anywhere to dry it and try a little redormir.

I admit we did not sleep very well. It has taken time to see the sun rise. It then goes into the hut next door to dry our things, or rather trying for the fire is not well virulent.

We are soon joined by other walkers who arrive every wetter than each other and found a little place for their business.

Given the weather does not seem to work out today, we arrange with the caretaker of the "hut" (the name of the shelters here) to sleep rather than walking up to the next. We can spend a night in a dry and leave the next day ... the sun! Forecasts were not very optimistic but it is there.

Resuming the path taken the go but without recognizing it. The trees are still there with their foam well supplied but where did all this water and the mist that we blocked the landscape, or almost nothing. The waterfalls have resumed their quiet course.

We also have the opportunity to make a small detour to a summit that allows a view of the surroundings, very spectacular! You can even see the sea at the end of the valley despite the 50 km.

!

A beautiful hike memorable despite water has played spoilsport, but it is also the memories.

Te Anau: input in the Parc Fiordland National

After a few hours drive from Queenstown, we arrived in Te Anau in the heart of the mountains at the edge of another lake. We planned a bit in advance (requires influx of hikers) to hike in the mountains of Fiordland National Park, so here we are! Dave (friend met during the project bats) had told us two things not to miss. The first is a movie directed by a helicopter pilot in the fjords of the area, it is called "Shadowland" (The world of darkness). This man has spent twenty years to ferry people around the park in his unit. He was really fascinated by the beauty of the landscape and decided to make a film in a camera hanging below the helicopter. Associated with cameramen film "The Lord of the Rings" it really gives an amazing result. There is no commentary, only music and it adds to the poetry of these images. Once the film made, there was no cinema in the small town of Te Anau, this pilot donc fait le choix d’en construire un, quel aventure ! La deuxième chose que nous devions voir est le Wildlife centre, comprenez un petit centre de soin pour des espèces natives. Il y a des kéa (vous savez, les perroquets alpins chenapans qui volent la nourriture des pauvres touristes sans défense), des pukekos, des canards plus ou moins originaires de Nouvelle-Zélande et surtout la star de ces lieux, le takahe. Depuis le temps que nous voulions le voir cet oiseau aux allures préhistoriques. Il s’agit d’un oiseau qui ne peut pas voler (et oui un de plus après le kiwi et le weka) et qui a été considéré comme disparu jusqu’au jour où quelqu’un en a aperçu un dans les fiords. It is protected and has been reintroduced to the islands "predator free" (free of predators). The takahe pukeko like a (big as moorhens and abundant in the North Island), but bigger and with a prehistoric look really (I know I repeat myself). The park rangers retrieve eggs from the wild to incubate them artificially (not themselves. ... With machines of course). They then feed them to the beaked, putting his hand in a sock and a red beak to mimic mom. This way they greatly increase the chances of survival of individuals that are not provided tame. A lot of work to save native species, as always in New Zealand.
