A nice view down one of the glacier sculpted valleys we saw on our drive down into Milford Sound. It was a bit chilly – as you can see we get pretty close to the snow line up here. And the wind chill factor outside the car was impressive!
Milford sound itself. Beautiful valleys half drowned where the river meets the sea. It was stunning – especially if you consider the beautiful waterfalls cascading down the valley walls…
… such as this one!
This is a Kea, a highly intelligent parrot that doesn’t fly much, but wanders around mountain slopes (especially where drivers stop off to give a few crumbs)! They treat visitors to the area with the distain they deserve.
Another beautiful glaciated valley, between Milford and Te Anau. This one had a perfectly flat meadow as its base which looked unbelievably green and lush.
Sunset over the lake at Te Anau. Not a bad view from our motel room eh?
