Milford Sound

I only have a few minutes on my internet card. If you are ever in NZ you must see Milford sound. It is really a fjiord. A river between massive mountains carved by a glacier that lets out into the Tasman sea. It rained, of course, Fiordland is a rainforest, but that only meant that the hundreds of temporary waterfalls snaked down the immense cliff walls like silver threads spilling into the calm blue water. It was spectacular. I cannot begin to put words to the immense scale of the place. A wonderland for the gods. I'll post pictures once I can upload them to the computer. Tomorrow to Wanaka, then home. Good travels my friends and for those of you in Maine - stay warm.

We did do Milford Sound when we were in NZ. It snowed and I have pictures of me finding orchids growing in the snow. It was an amazing place.
