Just as well we had the night to recover from our days trip on the jet boat - awesome! Today we were up bright and early for the two hour drive from Te Anau to Milford Sound ( Milford fiord to us European mortals). As we soon discovered the two hour trip was going to be another spectacular drive through mountains with amazing views down and over canyons. Everything here can be compared in some ways to the west coast of Scotland but on hyper steroids!
On arrival at Milford Sound which is only a sightseeing small boat terminal with no shops or houses we boarded our boat for the two and a half hour tour of the fiord. The boat was called the Milford Wanderer, a lovely boat which could also be under sail. Another lovely day with clear blue sky and sun shine with grey fur seals sunning themselves on the rocks.
After a slow drive back we chilled and then went out for a dinner in Te Anau but not before calling in at the local cinema to watch a 35 minute documentary tour from a helicopter of the area.
Another amazing day!
