Well, despite the weather forecasts most of our day was dry. We had a heavy shower on the way to Milford Sound, and it rained a bit as we got back to the harbour, but that was all. The boat trip was in sunshine for most of the way - and we saw penguins and seals from the boat, as well as a lot of waterfalls of various sizes. The picture is of Stirling Falls, one of the largest.
Coming back on the coach we saw Kea (the mountain parrot that eats car wipers) a number of times. They are quite comical and always the centre of attention. The coach was excellent - it's higher at the back than the front so that everyone can see forwards, and has bit windows in the roof so that you can enjoy the peaks towering above you.
Tomorrow we do the first half of the Southern Scenic Route, from Te Anau to Invercargill.
