Milford Sound

Saturday was Milford Sound day. We were so excited and determined not to let the weather dominate.
On the road to Milford.

Mirror lakes on the way.
Homer tunnel, I wasn't keen on this single lane, rough and ready tunnel through huge mountain.
Ta da! The cloud just adds to the  atmosphere.
Our boat.
Cruising through the sound it's just waterfall after waterfall and the sheer rocks are just unbelievable.


Seal rock.

Time for the waterfall challenge, we are heading straight for this one.
Here it comes!
Hold onto something.

Truly soaked.
Mitre Peak.

Hard to capture the feel and enormity of this place on a phone.
We cruised out to the Tasman Sea and back.
Several films including one of the Alien's and one of the Wolverine's had scenes filmed here.

As we headed to the car the summit of Mitre Peak appeared from the clouds.

One of our Wowest days yet!
