Milford Sound – Saturday, December 18th

At 3 pm we were supposed to attend a pilates class, to help prevent the effects of alcowol from settling in for the winter on hips and thighs and such, so we got gym dressed early to go walk on the promenade deck before class. Just then the weather changed and when we entered Milford sound it was quite spectacular what we were greeted with; majestic mountains, sheer walls of rock and dazzling white waterfalls. We did not quite make it to pilates, I think the pictures will explain why though. One thing the pictures will not really show is the whole scale of the thing, you just had to be there. Sorry and all…

At Milford sound it was still plenty cold but not nearly as cold as it had been earlier in the day. Don’t let the shorts and hoody on Nikki fool ya; she was a smidge nutty for shorts but did not want to take the time to go back to the room and change.

There was one particularly tall peak there that we did not get to see as the clouds did not open far enough. Darn – have to go back later.

There are pictures on the deck all wrapped in heavy clothes with hot tea and chocolate and yes it was really that cold!!

There were amazing waterfalls in Milford Sound and there is a hotel right down the end as well.
