Milford Sound

Similar to Doubtful Sound, Milford Sound is a fiord that required another bus ride and boat trip to see. The journey was punctuated by many stops and mini walks along the way as the passing scenery was fantastic.

Mirror Lake. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Although filled with stunning scenery, Milford was far too touristy for my liking. There were too many people crammed on too many boats. Plus it was raining and cloudy. Made for grander waterfalls mind you.

A grand waterfall.

The low cloud and mist did make for some eery sights.

Another view. The cliff faces were pretty severe in places - they get a lot of landslides.

We were meant to fly back to Queenstown but due to the weather it was a no go. Maybe next time? I could get used to this life of luxury.
