Milford Sound and Around

Milford Sound was lauded in one poster as "The Sound of Silence".  While it is an incredible place, unique, beautiful, drastic, awe-inspiring, it is not really the sound of silence. At least not any more.  There are planes and helicopters droning overhead, boats swarming the water honking, car engines right and left.  But it does provide for some good photo ops. 

The boat we road down the fjord.



Token romantic photo by waterfall.





The Keas know how to get what they want from the people.

They put on a show for their human audience. 
 The next day we went on a nice hike up the mountains, which were fantastic.
Yay hiking up beautiful mountains!


We sure do love these New Zealand carrots!

Looking toward our campsite.


It's Mt. Christina!  Some day I'll come back and climb you perfect mountain. 

New Zealand pigeons are so huge!
