Te Anau & Milford Sound

Drove from Queenstown after our Earnslaw trip and a look around town. Arrived about 7pm but didn't feel like dinner after our lunch. Nice NZMCA Park but very full - we were lucky to get a spot.
We were just going to have a quiet day today but got inspired by the photographs of Milford when we went to the supermarket. So we packed ourselves off out to Milford Sound - two hours drive each way. What a stunning journey and somewhere neither of us has been before.
When we got back we drove to Manapouri. Karin brought the motorhome back to Te Anau and Mark cycled the 29km of the Lake2lake trail as a workout in 1 hour 15 minutes. Very steep in places, follows the lakes and the river through beech forest, along high shelves above the river and hard slogs up and down gravel trails.
We earned our steak and a wine!Læs mere
