At Milford Sound we booked to go on a scenic tour which was a bus ride and boat cruise. The photos will explain better when i get them on. Set off early in the morning and got on a tour coach which drove from Te Anau where we were staying to Milford. The scenery was stunning. Mountains, lakes, glaciers, snow, all sorts. We stopped at a few view points to take pictures. A highlight was the mirror lakes which reflected the mountains behind them. A couple of ...

All roads were closed and the electricity would be off for a couple of days...eek. Make yourself comfortable then. We had the fire roaring to keep ...
