Driving to and from Milford Sound was beautiful, with the recent rainfall, there were waterfalls everywhere through the mountain ranges and in the forests. Our bus driver and tour guide (2 people) had make quite a few stops, so we were able to walk around and even walk through some 20 min loops in parks.
One of the stops was called the Pancake Rocks... apparently people think these rocks look like a stack of pancakes... I thought it looks more like a 7 layer cake, with 100 layers. Yum. The pancake rocks had a very nice walk and view.
Another stop was called the Chasm. It was in the middle of a jungly area and was basically ginormous rocks that glacier water had made it's way through over many many many years....
Bus scenery again, lovely, and so was napping on the bus. We also played bus games to keep us entertained for all the traveling.
However, Milford Sound, was very nice. We stayed overnight on a boat. We cruised around the inner circle, and saw large water falls, seals, and penguins. Sadly, it started to rain, which put a damper on some of the activities that were offered. Nonetheless, we played a killer game of Here and Now - New Zealand Addition of Monopoly. It was fun to have visited most of the places on the board. :)
That night was a little rocky on the boat, but it lead to more bonding and good conversations with fellow tour mates. I had a great time that night because it was such a chilled out, lounge-y night.
In the morning, we cruised into the Tasmin Sea, and saw some pretty sights through rain drops.
By mid day on the bus ride back, the sun was shining, and the ride on the bus was.... well.. like what I wrote above.
