The road to Milford Sound is closed again this morning and the caves are still flooded.
There is a thick layer of ice on the car window screen this morning. It's cold driving along so when I reach a place called Rossburn I stop and have a full english breakfast and large coffee.
It's been bright and sunny driving towards Invercargill but just before I get there it starts raining again.
I decide to book into a serviced apartment for 2 nights, it's like a hotel room but has microwave, fridge and kettle. I need some time along and at least if it rains all day I can stay in bed and watch TV.
It freezing cold as well as gales and rain.
I declare wine-o-clock at 5 and batten down the hatches for the night.
