We did spend forty fantastic days in New Zealand’s South Island. We’ve seen glaciers, fjords and iridescent blue lakes, dolphins, keas, kiwis, penguins, seals, millions of sheep and billions of sandflies. We even postponed our ferry to Wellington and our outbound flight from Auckland to stay longer! But now it was time to say goodbye and board our return ferry to Wellington (this time without any seasick passengers) and a small pod of dolphins and a lonely albatross were wishing us farewell as we sailed through Queen Charlotte sound.
