Below you can see that Seagull was clearly getting caught up in the spirit of the season.
There were several nice stops along the way. One of them was the Mirror Lake. Unfortunately it was slightly windy which prevented us seeing the lake in all its glory. It was still a pleasant place.
Next up was passing through a mountain range that shot up nearly vertically on both sides of us. The picture below is us at the narrow tunnel that goes through the mountain. The traffic lights change every 15 minutes because of the length of the tunnel and the fact that it is only wide enough for one bus at a time.
When we arrived at Milford Sound (which is actually a fjord for those who care) we took a cruise. It was diminished somewhat by the misty weather. The photo below doesn't quite indicate just how high the cliffs go. The waterfalls here are incredibly high.
Invercargill looks like it is stuck in the past. All the buildings are old, including our hostel. It was comfortable enough.
Note: La Toscana in Teanau was an excellent Italian restaurant. In case you're ever there.
