Emily Embo 🇬🇧 Milford Road "The Milford Road is a fascinating route on the South Island of New Zealand. It stretches from Te Anau to the impressive Milford Sound. It is not just a connection but an unforgettable journey through some of the most beautiful landscapes in New Zealand." My colleague suggested that on our day off, we drive along Milford Road and explore the many small hiking trails and viewpoints. Of course, I was immediately on board and glad I didn't have to drive. We stopped at Humboldt Falls, Pop’s View Lookout, Cascade Creek, Mirror Lakes, and Lake Mistletoe. The Southland region of New Zealand has issued a "passport" with 23 hikes around Te Anau, and through this excursion, I was able to check off some of these destinations. My goal is to complete all 23 hikes by early January. I still have eight hikes to go, with two of them booked for early January (Milford Track). I had a wonderful time with my colleague, and it's nice to be settled for a while. We colleagues often do things together, and it feels good to have friends who are local (though I'm grateful that I can quickly reach my friends from Germany on my phone!). This weekend is all about relaxing; Lucas and I did the Kepler Track on Saturday, covering 55 kilometers. How long do you think it took us? The whole story will be coming soon!
