Well we went off very early, in fact before daylight, to Milford Sound. This area gets the highest rainfall in the world and I think a lot of it fell today. We stopped at Mirror Lakes but it was wet. We next stopped at the Chasm which even if it was wet was very spectacular. Just before the Sound you go through an unlined tunnel-- Homer Tunnel. The traffic lights only work during the day. I wouldn't like to meet anything coming the other way especially in a bus!
We had a short wait at the ferry terminal before boarding the Milford Sovereign. We went down one side of the fjord out to the Tasman Sea and turned to come up the other side. We saw bottlenosed dolphins really close, some fur seals and a white heron(egret). The main thing to see are the thousands of waterfalls and I mean thousands. Norway has nothing to compare on this scale.
Off to Dunedin in the morning. Holiday rapidly coming to an end. Just a few more days in NZ and off to Fiji.
