Getting to Milford Sound

Wed, March 13

Over the mountains on the curviest roads to date. Swished all our inner ears sloshy! Spectacular river of clouds engulfed the Queenstown valley as we curled our way down the mountains other side.

The roads curls down on the right.

Opted for a Real Journeys bus ride from TeAnau to Milford sound so James could enjoy scenery & not have to drive anymore. Guide/driver, Steve, a true Kiwi, had done done many things in his life so entertained and educated us along the way. Frequent photo op stops or short 15-min walks to see something special. The Kiwi's love their country and love sharing it with visitors.

Leaving TeAnau for the Milford Sound

 

A short hike to see Mirror Lakes

 

Nothing hazardous to one's health by drinking this glacier fed stream water. Delicious!

James & Jane ready to board

 

Sweet accommodations

Not much room for dessert after the layout of choices for dinner.
