Marlborough Sounds

For us a place revisited. We arrived on Wednesday evening to take the water taxi to the start of the Queen Charlotte track. It was ANZAC morning with the participants still around.

A selection of views of our two days of walking from Sip Cove to Punga Cove via Furneaux Lodge. Beautiful scenery as ever but disappointment with the change in accommodation sites and their costs and the expense of the water taxis.

The walk and lodges were busy even this time of year. I assume somewhat intolerable in January and February.

And while we were waiting for the taxi back came the people with clearly too much money.

And followed for us by the great views from the boat.

Makara beach

A long time since our last visit. We could not really work out how many times we had visited before. Just twice? Certainly in weather less pleasant than today. Beautiful setting. Nice little walk and then two milkshakes in the cafe which is in better condition than in the past.
