Te Anau to Milford Sound

Finally... finally we‘re driving to Milford Sound. On our way it rained and rained and it was windy. Not just a little bit. We saw hundreds of waterfalls, which wouldn’t exist without all that rain. We saw snow. And one place more beautiful than the other. One would say, hey all this you could have at home, too.
