Milford Sound took about 7 hours to get to from Queenstown and it rained the majority of the way. Every photo that you see of Milford, the sun's shining and water is calm. We were greeted by a view of no cliffs and some very choppy water. Milford Sound is one of the wettest places in New Zealand with an average of 6m of rain a year so I guess we just got a typical day. It was hard to appreciate the size of the cliffs when you could barely see them but the waterfalls were fantastic. We saw hundreds of falls, when on a perfect day you can only see the 5 permanent ones. We headed back through Fiordland National Park to Te Anau for the night.
The 1st photo was taken from the side of the road!
