Milford sound was at the top of our list of must-see sights and yesterday, we did a day tour. It was a long day because it's 4 hours travelling each way. The bus stops for a break both ways in te anau, which is a small town halfway there. We also picked up a few more people from there.
Me in te anau
It was amazing to watch the scenery change drastically as we got closer to the fjords. The lush green fields filled with sheep, cattle and deer farms suddenly turned into tall forests surrounded by towering mountains. We had to go through a tunnel that went right through the mountain and then we were actually in the fjords and it was absolutely amazing.
The roads got really winding as we climbed up to great heights..
...and the final destination and highlight was an hour and a half cruise on famous Milford sound...
After the long day (13 hours), we got back to our hotel at 8pm and went back out to get Thai food and check out some of the stores. We also stopped at the night n day, which is like 711, to get water and snacks. They have some really cool food here...
More to come tomorrow, as we are about to go jet boating and rafting....
