It was easy to round up a couple friends to plan a trip to Milford. You will understand in a few moments why this is so..it is unlike any place I have ever visited. So off the four of us went, me, Danni, Jason and Christian.
Driving into Milford Sound was like driving into another world. As you make your way there the mountains slowly creep in on all sides but they don't dominate the land - and then you enter the Homer tunnel. As you emerge, you become dwarfed by the mountains. They stand mighty and tall all around and on the day we drove in, the mountainsides were painted with waterfalls.
Finding balance in nature
The gruesome trio
The tagline for Milford should have been "land of rainbows". We saw one nearly every half hour
This waterfall was around 150 meters tall...we were getting hit with mist from it on our cruise boat
It was not a calm day on the water...it had been raining for 5 days straight in Milford..o yea, and there were 170km/hour winds though the fjord
Just another waterfall on the side of the road
Another great trip with some great new friends. I couldn't have had a better time. There is literally adventure around every bend in New Zealand, and we made sure not to let any of them pass by us.
One last picture before the drive home
