Milford Sound & Te Anau

---

WOW, what a place. Everyone was happy because we got to see some penguins, I was happy because we went in a coach and I didn't have to drive. Although the Penguins were pretty cool. We also saw some seals and a dolphin.
After having been there I know want to go to Scandanavia and see more fjords.
What else can I say other than it is fantastic and you should all go there at some point. We were lucky because it rains on average 200 days a year and approx. 15 feet. They were in a drought, according to the bus driver, because it hasn't rained for 3 days.
Oh by the way Te Anau is also quite nice, had a great chinese meal.

Check how small the boat looks.
It gives you some idea of the height of the sides of the Fjord.

Scenery
The scenery looks great makes little old Bega NSW ordinary. I think the whales will have more or less gone by the end of November but here's hoping they stay for you, but maybe you will have had enough of sealife.
