Day 10 Continued....Milford Sound...On the road into the sound, the senery was pict

On the way into Milford Sound the scenery was picture perfect...

Wild Flowers, they were the prettiest pinks & purples.....

Water running over the rocks...

One of the many waterfalls on the way in....

Avalanche, they have signs to say no stopping....

Yep, more snow/ice.....

With waterfalls behind us....& the Subaru Legacy, they must have sold heaps of these cars, they are everywhere...

This was just before the one lane tunnel to go through to the Sound...

It's a tight fit for the buses, it's really strange when you go in there, it is 1.2klms long & there are lights to send you through...

Another Glacier...


  Stirling Falls are 150mtrs high & are 3 times the height of Niagra Falls (51mtrs high). This is also the waterfall that Hugh Jackman jumped over in Wolverine.....(he did it on a green screen of course) It is also called the boat wash because that's what you get when you get close to it...


The Wanderer in the background, before dinner we had the choice of water sports, kayak, swimming or going on the tender, Dan & I picked the tender & Greg & Ethan swam.....(silly boys, the water was freezing, they jumped from the top deck into the water)

Looking down Milford Sound


This is where we stayed for the night, very calm....

The food was the best that we have had so far, the chef had made Curried Sweet Potato Soup, Lamb Shanks with mashed potato, pumpkin & vegs & Chocolate Brownie with ice cream & berry sauce....I may have eaten everyones pumpkin, but I did swap my Lamb Shank for it......Not that they were complaining.....
