Milford Sounds

Up early this morning for the 2 hour drive from our camp to Milford Sounds. Strange situation where you have a road 120km long that ends up in a Fiord and that’s about it! Anyway needed to be away at a good time to beat the coaches, which we did nicely .

Milford Sounds itself is basically a big lake that ends up in the sea created by a glacier. The sides of the cliff either side are stupidly high and you really get no senses of how big until a little waterfall is over 500ft high. Some of the cliffs are over a mile high! You see all this from a boat that wanders along the sound to the sea and back; along the way seals can be seen as well which is nice

Returned after a cuppa back the same 2 hours and grabbed some good and beer in the supermarket. Li cooked dinner; huge mussels! And finally spent an hour playing with toilet waste as it decided to pour all over the shower; lovely
