Doubtful Sound: Day Eighty-Nine - Afternoon (16 January)

We went all the way to where the Sound joins the Tasman Sea then turned round because it was getting choppy and rejoined the coach at Deep Cove.

On the way back to Lake Manapouri we called at the Hydroelectric Power Station which is 213 metres below ground. It felt strange driving into it in a coach and it was bizarre seeing something so modern having just returned from almost primeval scenery but very interesting.


We braved more unmade roads on the drive back to Te Anau as we visited Rainbow Reach on the Kepler Track and walked across another swingbridge.

A tiring but lovely day.
