Milford Sound!

Mitre Peak in the background

This was a giant waterfall that sprung out of nowhere

Water gushing down the sides, HUGE!

This was about 40 metres down!

Milford sound, is a must do in NZ, and like all good things, it was miles from anywhere! We started on the journey from Te Anau (craphole where Nic got speeding ticket) and the journey was 2 hours of twists and turns and waterfalls and mountains and dodgy tunnels and Kea birds and general greatness! It was awesome though, as it had just rained the rain was just gushing down the side of the mountains next to you, forming massive waterfalls which were very impressive. We went for a few walks along the way, one to a massive chasm that we stood right over and water was thrashing down it! Then when you reach the sounds, it is just sea meets islands and mountains and waterfalls! Apparently it used to be called Milford Haven, but I presume they missed off the 'haven' when they realised it was nothing like the one in Wales, sorry Dad!
