I did have some problems with sand flies. I got bitten a few times while swimming. Unlike mosquitoes, I didn't immediately get big itchy swollen spots.

The guide assured us that the steams were potable, in part because the sand fly larvae live in running water and eat all the nasty bacteria. I don't know it it is true, but I had no problems with the water.

With sand flies, it took three days for the bites to develop. This is after taking an antihistamine.

It was strange to be in a temperate rain forest and not recognize a single weed, tree or even moss.

We had to be watchful of the weka, a chicken sized flightless bird that will grab anything (like a tent peg) and run off into the woods to see if what it stole is edible. If you chase it, it won't drop what it picked up. Just saying.

Oh no, some waves! On the third day, it rained and got windy. But the wind was at our backs and we were on our way out. Great trip.

The boat launch at Doubtful Sound. No services, but plenty of electricity.

At the hydro station, we caught another bus to Doubtful Sound. That is Doubtful in the distance. It gives a little insight in to how steep this road is.
