Milford Sound

Sean | April 11, 2009

Friday was a perfect sightseeing day.

Milford sound is a day trip from Queenstown on a bus, then a boat cruise thru the Fijord on the West coast of NZ, then more bus back to Queenstown.  All the way, there are remarkable views of mountains – including a range called “The Remarkables” because the whole range runs true North to true South.

Our first stop was at a glacially carved valley..

Then a bit farther along to a reflecting pool…

Look at it upside down at it looks like a real mountain scene…

The individual mountain + reflection shots were not as good at the pano…

And on to the actual Fijord…

And to the sea…

And back…

And came home to a sweet moon scene.

Today was an easy day for catching up on planning, and resting up for the Easter Egg Hunt / Pub Crawl tonight.  There’s supposed to be 150 people there, including Meghan, Holly, and me!!
