Rain in Fiordland

Finally the day for my rain pants… and… I must admit that I was lucky that I did not need them during the overland track… they are everything - but not waterproof anymore 🫣

Luckily, it was only a couple of hours of rain this morning… I had a beautiful (pouring) rain walk along Lake Gunn nature walk on my way to Milford Sound… there I hoped on a boat (early enough before the crowds) for a 2hrs boat ride through the Fiord…. Stunning and amazing. Thanks to the rain we had a breadth of waterfalls (usually, there is only a handful of permanent waterfalls). Breathtaking!

On my way back - some more stops along the way, incl famous (but underwhelming) Mirror Lakes and Mistletoe Lake - the latter even in the sun…

Sad to say goodbye to this beautiful spot tomorrow… I’ll be heading over to the Eastcoast. Hopefully with one or two nice hiking stops.Read more
