Milford Sound

From the glaciers, we headed south, via Wanaka (which is really really nice) to Te Anau and then onto Milford Sound (which is actually a fiord). It's a stunning place, with different weather at each end of it's 15 km length! The drive from Te Anau is also stunning, with incredible mountains, valleys, the Homer tunnel (hand carved over 20+ years) and Keas. Keas are rare alpine parrots which like hanging out at the end of the Homer tunnel and generally causing mayhem. They tried to bite the aerial off the car and managed to rip off the rubber seals around the doors. Luckily we got no excess on the insurance!
