Another fantastic Christmas present..... Milford Sound is NZ's top tourist destination and we are very close to it in Queenstown - only problem is there are mountains in the way so it is a 4 hour drive. The river banks were absoloutly covered in purple lupens and then a little further on water was gushing down all of the hillsides.
We decided to kayak along the water rather than the more relaxing cruise! They sold it to us when we knew we could Kayak into the waterfall. Its not as easy as it sounds - the force of the wind down from the waterfall and the chill of the spray makes it exhilirating and impossible to actually get directly under the waterfall.
The trip ended with another exciting journey guessing whether the petrol would get us home or not!! (it was past 10 and they dont do 24hrs in NZ)
