Milford Sound

A few more pics for everyone... A really beautiful spot we went to was Milford Sound. Basically a big bay with mountains that come right out of the ocean. One in particular which is the largest ocean side mountain in the world. Great views, but unfortunately the weather played a little bit of a factor and stole some of its beauty from our pictures.

We were planning on doing a kayaking trip here, but the weather deterred us and we opted for cruise where we could see more in a little less time. Was a bit chilly... As well we were planning a 5 day hike which apparently offers some amazing scenery but again the weather kept us from doing so. A strange winter/spring has apparently played a factor with the snow cap, and thus the Department of Conservation closed down the all major hiking routes in the Milford Sound area preventing us from doing our planned excursion. Oh well, I guess you can't do everything!
