Fiordland

After a quick visit to Queenstown to do the Luge at the top of the Skyline, we headed to Fiordland to start the Milford Track said by many to be 'the most spectacular walk in the world'. We walked the 55km over 4 days - which doesn't sound like much, but we were walking with heavy packs for 6-8 hrs a day.

The scenery was spectacular and we passed through valleys, under waterfalls, over rivers and high mountain passes. On reaching Milford Sound we rewarded our acheivement by going on a cruise. Milford Sounds, Garry assures me are actually the Milford Fiords because they were made by a glacier and not a river. Guess someone got confused?! We saw another few seals and lots of amzing water falls, but then someone shouted "DOLPHINS!" and a pod of 8 dolphins swam with the boat for 10 minutes doing tricks and entertaining us all. WOW!

Our muscles are still hurting, but it was well worth the effort.

We are now on the Southern Scenic Route which goes through Dunedin to Christchurch - where we fly out of in a weeks time.
