NZ - Milford Sound

[eeverson]

Hi All,

Here are a few from Milford Sound.... for anyone going to NZ this is a must see place, the Milford Road on its own is an amazing drive topped only by a cruise on the sound itself.

On the sound we did an overnight cruise which was excellent. The highlight was waking up on a boat and watching the sun rise over the amazing landscape.

Tall Waterfall, nothing really to show the scale apart from the broccoli looking trees:

Bow to the waterfall, because the Sound (*Fjord) is glacial the sides are very steep and thus boats get get right under some of the falls:

Kea, the only mountain parrot, they have a NEED to destroy and eat things and this one was doing some DIY on someones van. Out of pure luck I managed to get him dropping the water jet after pulling it from the car:
