Hollyford River/Whakatipu Ka Tuka

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. Yes, that might be true, but the difference is that nature’s still intact and unlike in Austria less people, which also means less buildings/infrastructure.

A couple of days ago I pre-booked a
campervan site at the Milford Lodge. The only campsite in Milford Sound and the place is limited. Normally we would just show up and ask for availability.

Due to the weather (it changed from rain to dry to hail to wind to rain and every other possible direction and combination) we didn’t even bother going for a walk and stayed at the kitchen/lounge area and waited for dinner time 😬.Läs mer
