Saturday - Milford Sound

Leaving Te Anaubehind us this morning we head off for Milford Sound. As we climb towards the Hommer tunnel we pass the mirror lakes and the show-capped Mountains. We Count to 9 7 as we go though the tunnel and descend into a different world of mist and mountains, and rain as we approach the Sound. As we stop to a refreshment break we are greated bs a Kea, a mountain living parott who runs to each car in the hope ot food. He waddles away empty beakedc

Two hours cruising the lake admiring the watefalls and the cliffs that Are measured in 1,000s of feet. A few seals but no dolphins! If we carry on west we would reach Argentina, south to Antarctica. Even in the clouds the Sound is awesome and dwarfs the boats that poke their -noses into the waterfalls

We head back to Te Anau and another 1000 piece jigsaw.
