Milford sound

Today was a scenic day!  We drove from Te Anau on the only road to Milford sound which took about 2 1/2 hours, then took a large ferry type boat out into the sound for a couple of hours.  These sounds are actually fjords as they have been formed by glaciers.  It was incredibly busy, there were about 3 large double decker ferries, and hundreds of people who had come on coaches along this one windy road!  I've never seen quite so many Chinese either! There we're also little planes taking off and flying over the area, anyway, hopefully you get the idea that it was a tourist trap. It was howeve quite spectacular scenery.  After the boat trip and lunch we made our way back to Te Anau stopping a few times for short walks to scenic places.
