Milford Sound in Sun and Rain

Like Norway, fiords are a big tourist atraction. We decided to take a day off paddling and be "regular" tourists.

Milford Sound isn't a sound - it's a fiord. Therefore it should be named Milford Fiord.

We went for a climb up the hill to get to the creek that makes the Bowen Fall. The pipeline was slippery!

Finally there

So why are we trespassing?...

... to see Bowen Falls f0r free!

Jono and Mao are relaxing and drinking beer. The kiwi beer is really tasty!

As soon as it starts to rain, a lot of small waterfalls emerges.

We were a bit sleepy after today's activities

We met this fellow on our way home

We went back a second time to Milford to do a cruise. This time it had rained a lot which made the waterfalls bigger.

Drinking water straight from the waterfall. The water had this yellowish colour which reminded me of something I would not drink.

A flock of seals are relaxing

Dolphins were chasing us as we set the course back to land.

And as we were on our way to land, the weather improved.

Water coming down

A river on the Milford side, but no kayaking today
