Due to a long weekend holiday to commemorate the anniversary of the province of Otago, a shining sun and 2 days off after a few days of training have created the ideal time to discover the surrounding fjords. It took 4 hours drive to reach one of the wonders of the country. The long road passes through valleys and desert sometimes broad, sometimes dense vegetation or hemmed by mountains whose peaks rise steeply. You do not get tired of the road leading us to fjords deemed to be even more beautiful in the rain. 
By bad luck - or accidentally from the point of view - the sun never stops shine and dazzling peaks and cliffs plunging into the oily waters of the Tasman Sea. The landscape is quite exceptional.

Our late arrival confronts us with the light fading of the day playing behind the dark masses of rocks. We feel humbled by the extent of water and breathtaking mountains. We will explore the ancient glacial valley kayak away from boats sailing without stopping in fjords and at a much more "earthy" than dozens of planes or helicopters circling around the place. Hand or in fresh water or on the paddle, I forget to row to better admire the view, enjoy the tranquility and magnificence of the place and recharge my busy days in recent weeks. 
The boat glides gently on the water (thanks to my galley I must say!), Approaching sea lions, dolphins move to the left, grazes the steep cliffs, walks under a waterfall slows to stargazing sea or to capture a photo of this fantastic place. A few hours sailing give us a good overview of the place and we can take time to enjoy the exploration. It is likely that I go back, probably more present in the clouds or driving rain. It is said that thanks to the weather, water dripping from the cliffs created impressive waterfalls and the mist and clouds mystify the table. I will have the opportunity to compare the landscape and decide if the visitor is lucky in the rain or sun!
