This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 25-year-old bookmark and can proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).
In my earlier post I wrote about our trip to Milford Sound, on New Zealand’s South Island. On the road to Milford Sound is The Chasm, well worth seeing and hearing in its own right.
The forest surrounding The Chasm:

The Chasm is a gnarled and whorled channel dug into the rock by a river. The TC started this video with a view of some people, to give perspective, then moved down to the river, to try and show the size of the gorge and the swirling rock patterns:
You may encounter a Kea parrot on your way to and from Milford.This one was patrolling the car park when we arrived at The Chasm:

The TC, of course, cooed and clucked over the Keas. This worm stayed safely in a book in the TC’s bag.
This Kea strutted up the roadside barrier while we waited our turn to go through the Homer tunnel on the Milford road:
That’s all for today dudes.

Talk to the Travelling Worm!
