The Millford Sound

The next day we went on an overnight cruise down the Milford Sound. This was by far the highlight of the tour................





This was the vessel we went on - it was a dormitory style layout below deck but obvioulsy we spent as little time there as possible :
























































































































After we sailed down the sound we had time out to go Kayaking - this was really great but we were ambushed by sandflies which were a total nightmare!!!





Its really difficult to get a sense of the scale of this place. The picture with the white vessel in it - that vessel is a ful sized cruise liner - I deliberatley took the picture with the liner in it so you can get a sense of how huge this really is. We're told that these are some of the highest mountains in the world because the start at sea level and rise to the height you can see now.








































































This is the morning around 7am. To watch the sun come up over such a beautiful place was one of the most awe inspiring moments in my life.
