We had to rise very early today for our Milford trek. As it rained very hard last night we were a bit worried how the weather would be. But once again we have been blessed with a beautiful day. We caught the coach (bus) at 6:40 in the morn and had a great 4 hr ride to Milford Sound. Allen the driver was so good with history, syories and funny quips the whole way. It went by very fast. And moer than half of the trip is through really beautiful areas.Too much to describe, and then you come to the Sound itself. Well, that's not quite true, it really is a fjord not a soundThe glaciers have carved numerous paths to the sea in this part of NZ and as it is a world heritage site, it is protected and will remain very natural. The boat ride on the sound itself was awesome. Really cannot find proper words. And the crew kept saying how the weather was perfect and they couldn't believe it after yesterday. How can one area have so many waterfalls? And huge cliffs covered in lush greens. Pretty special. And to top it all off, we were able too fly back to Queenstown and get even more of a view of the fantastic area. And for those who know Sandra well, she did great in a little cessena plane flying over and around mountain passes. I loved it as the mountains and scattered puffy clouds were just too cool. And then back to Gill's. It's so good.
