Another beautiful day with beautiful weather. Morning drive to Milford Sound (really a fiord) was long but everything was "frosted" with snow and mountail vistas were beautiful. Then we "sailed" on the Milford Mariner the length of the fiord to the Tasman Sea and back again. The air was cool and crisp and the scenery was breathtaking. Back on the coach we returned to Te Anau. I slept most of the way. The "frosting" was replaced by the sun shining on the trees. What a beautiful day.
Liz (our guide) and Peter ( our driver) were patient and gave us many photo stops, comfort stops, and snacks along the way. I had salmon for dinner in Te Anau hotel restaurant--tender flackey and good. Now to pack and prepare for tomorrow.

fire, food and altar on the horsefarm for mom
Hi Martha, we're doing the thing for mom today and tomorrow. It's a bit cold and rained hard last night, but we're going forward anyway with the support of friends who've been bringing us food. The picture is magnificent and it looks like New Zealand is as gorgeous as it's reputed to be. I am wondering if I am going to be sick for the rest of my life, but no worries. Glad you are well and doing it up brown. Sincerely Shirley
