Rainy Fiordland (but still beautiful)

img_6300It’s raining of course but I guess this is what you want in Fiordland as it is a rainforest and it makes better warerfals for pictures. Heading out to Milford Sound the falls off the mountains were unreal how could that much water be coming down the mountains. Soon reaching Homer Tunnel which is a spectacle on it’s own. A tunnel built through the mountain and you can’t see the other side. A big wall of mountain and a hole through the middle, really? why ,would you even think of that? Homer was a great climber in the area a proposed a tunnel to be dug thru the mountain and you can hike some of the trails to wear Homer used to climb.

Milford sound is really a tourist area and you either go on a cruise or hike the 60km trail we took thc cruise as the trail had been booked up for months. img_6418Not sure I would have enjoyed the hike as it rains most of the time. As soon as you head out on the boat there is a gusher of a falls pouring out of the mountain. The mountains Milford Sound are pouring out with water just insane. The boat ride was 1.5hrs and was a great event even in the rain. We saw some seals up close and some amazing water falls.
