A Stop On the Way to Milford Sound


The first day I was here I met a German girl who was more than happy to share expenses to come along to Milford Sound for the day. It was a great trip, and we couldn't ask for better weather. Although it rained for most of the ride there, the sun was hot and shinning when we got to there. After four and a half hours of driving, we finally arrived. We had booked a cruise (I had a 2 for 1 pass from the car rental place) and had an hour or so to spare, so my new friend went for a walk while I had a 20 minute nap in the car (I had to refuel before the next four and a half hours back). The cruise was great because we got to see some great scenery and some New Zealand fur seals! On the way back we stopped quickly to snap a few shots at the Mirror Lakes, which weren't too mirror-like because of all the ducks swimming in the water, but you get the idea. All in all in was a great day!
