Rest day - Doubtful Sound trip
Today we had a rest day in Queenstown but since I have been here at least twice before I decided to do something I hadn’t done before which was a trip to Doubtful Sound with Tim. Doubtful Sound is part of the Fiordland National Park just like Milford Sound. One thing I learned today was the difference between a sound and a fiord. A sound is at the end of a river flowing out into the ocean and the only real sound in NZ is Marlborough Sound. All of the others are incorrectly named as sounds when they should be fiords. A fiord is not created by a river rather it is a narrow rock lined waterway connected to an ocean. The weather today was not great but it did make the fiord mystical. Back on the bike tomorrow.
