Milford Sound

While driving through New Zealand we have seen a lot of beautiful scenery. But today the scenery was the best we have seen so far. Not only because it felt a lot more the Lord of the Rings, but because it genuinely was absolutely stunning, with mountains, where you could actually see the peak, waterfalls, rivers, and forests as far as the eye could see.
On the way to Milford Sound we went through a long and very steep tunnel, with no lights and no concrete elements, so you could see the rock that the tunnel went through. It felt like the tunnel to hell. On the other side we still had quite a long downhill drive.
Milford sound is one of the shorter fiords in New Zealand, but it is very beautiful with sheer cliffs, amazing waterfalls, bottle-nose dolphins, New Zealand fur seals, and a single Fiordland Crested Penguin. We saw all of this on our 2 hour cruise.
After the cruise we drove to Te Anau where we had Bao for dinner.Read more
