Journey from Wanaka to Milford Sound

Day 4 : 13 May 2012

The original plan was to visit the Puzzling World, last minute we felt a bit old to play here. Perhaps the illusion game and maze didn't really interest us.


So we move on to the next destination, Milford Sound... the reason why I make a come back to South NZ again. It was a loooong drive in total more than 350 km and about six hours. I pray hard that the weather gonna be okay and the road from Te Anau to Milford Sound is open. We did few stops along the way to rest and take photos.  Enjoying the Autumn beauty.








We arrived at Te Anau and bought some more food and chips. This was where I got stranded due to the Polar Blast last year. Its like dejavu being here again. Macam tak percaya. I'm back!

On my previous trip, a Chinese business owner did suggested Doubtful Sound instead of Milford Sound. I did some research over the internet and decided for Milford, which less time consuming and less expensive :) No one lives in Doubtful Sound, you have to overnight on the cruise. But of course Doubtful sound is 3 times longer than Milford. Perhaps next time kan :)








The two hours journey was breath taking even though the rain starts falling. Its a bit windy tho, as such speeding is not allowed. We arrived at Milford Sound Lodge late evening. FYI - there are only two options for accommodation here in Milford Sound and they are selling fast.


It was basic but I love it very much. The shared bathroom and kitchen are super clean. The common area is big. People are warm and friendly. Me happy to stay here :) But if you're uncomfortable to share, you may opt to stay at Te Anau - more choices of acommodation.


Tomorrow, Nature Cruise for 2h15m at 9.45 am. Can't wait.. for now, sleeeeep.

It is a functional simple way to actually recruit people.
Next, an effort must be made to flush the body of all of the negative effects of mother nature built up on it.
