Today was a great day. The weather was sunny and the views were incredible. This IS what we'd been expecting from New Zealands scenary!
Having arrived at Te Anua in the morning, we picked up the Milford Road which ziz zagged its way through u-shaped valleys which had been carved out by glaciers (many years ago!). Around us where countless snow capped peaks. The road crossed single-vehicle-width bridges over raging rivers. The most exciting section was driving through a long tunnel with barely any lighting - it was like driving through a mine!
Eventually we arrived at Milford Sound, a sea-filled glacial valley with huge vertical cliffs on each side with many waterfalls. The views were absolutely amazing! Best of all the weather was as good as it gets; apparently 2 out of 3 days are cloudy with rain so we were very lucky. We embarked upon 2hr boat cruise and enjoyed the amazing views.
