A lovely drive to Milford Sound on Wednesday, with a couple of side walks for sights. Once there we enjoyed a boat trip up the Sound towards the Tasman Sea for a couple of hours. In some places here the water below us was 300m deep. Picked up a (slightly smelly but very nice; hope he didn't notice me turn the air conditioning on!) backpacker on the way back. We were a long drive from civilisation and thought it was about time we did our bit- it's very popular for backpackers out here.
Yesterday on a walk along part of the Kepler Track from Te Anau we met a guy with what looked like a space helmet at the top of his huge backpack! Turns out he works for google and was mapping the walks in NZ. Like "streetview" but for hikes. Doesn't look like you can access it yet but will keep checking.
Waterfall in the fjord...and someone's head!
