Our journey today took us to Milford Sound…
right in the middle of their Fiordland (yes, that’s how they spell it) National Park! These fiords were formed by glaciers, the telltale
sign being the U-shape the mountains and valleys have. It also receives 15-10 feet of rain per year,
is a rainforest, but not a hot one. In
fact, we were quite chilly!
It took us about 2 hours to get there, not
including photo breaks! We hopped on ‘Sinbad’
our boat for touring the actual Milford Sound.
I don’t think I need to say a whole lot, cuz the pictures say most of
it!
So this unique bird is a Kea... in the family of what we call Parrots. It thrives in the cold weather there... scavenges to make it's next. He's trying to pull an antennae off the coach to put in his nest... Next pic shows they are colorful!

Seal getting a suntan!
Our boat pulled right up into the falls you see above and this is what the water looked like in the pic below
I love travelling with you! ...and being married to you.
