Milford Sound, what can
I say, a beautiful road driving to this famous fiord, rain most of
the day but as the locals say this is Milford Sound, its rainforest!
Milford Village has
200 days of rain per year on average and 265 inches of rain per year.
Our cruise here was
much shorter than Doubtful Sound, just 1 hour 45minutes. The rain did
ease slightly for a short period but Roy and I braved the outside for
the whole trip, the waterfalls were stunning even if the views were
misty. A superb cruise!
When we left Milford
and drove back over the high pass it continued to pour and the
temporary waterfalls got bigger and the rivers rose. We drove about
30 miles to our Conservation campsite, basic site with toilet. Rain
poured and a thunderstorm joined in! Thank goodness for our camper
van, poor devils in tents must have been drenched! It rained the
whole night but next morning.....sunshine as we drove away from misty
Milford Sound.
