Milford Sound

We have been staying at a hotel on the water front in Te Anau, a delightful little town which is quite chic in appearance. We met up with Marie Yeardley, a cousin of Lis who happened to be in Te Anau on holiday at the same time as us. She comes from near Darwin in Australia and is touring South Island with a friend.

Milford Sound was a stunning 2 hour drive away, through highly majestic and varied scenery. Milford, at the head of the sound, is a tiny place with little there apart from a cafe and sand flies. However, the view down Milford Sound toward Mitre Peak and beyond exceeds expectations.

This is a view of the delightful lake at Te Anau.
