NZ...South Island...Milford Sound

...Milford Sound is the Fiordland of NZ...fiords are massive waterways carved by old glaciers in the iceage ...fantastic place but it rained on us non-stop-but then we saw hundreds of waterfalls!..it was amazing scenery!
...this the nearest Kiwi land to OZ land which is 800km away...
...waterfalls everywhere....

...having lunch as heaven really opened on us...
...getting to fiordland was a massive task in its own right as we had to cross few mountains and some icy too! and one huge tunnel carved through mountain...
...the mountains tops were covered in snow all around us and the waters contains many marine creatures...so we were told...we also found out from other travellers couple of days after our visit that the day before and the one after our visit here was all glorious sunshine blue sky with fluffy clouds...we just picked a wrong day...but then we have been very lucky with weather in NZ beacause as we have arrived at a place its been fantastic sunshine but as we prepare to depart its been cloudy with drizzle...
...even with all the rain it was still an awe inspiring place...
...covered for all weather conditions...
