Took a coach trip and cruise to Milford Sound today from our base in Te Anau. This is mirror lake and it is quite clear why it is called that. On the way to the Sound we saw plenty more snow-capped mountains with most of the windy road having warning signs about avalaunches. It is also compulsory to carry snow chains in the Winter. It turned out to be a gorgeous summer day. Milford Sound rains more than anywhere in New Zealand but we turn up on a sunny day! It meant we had a lovely cruise getting wet on deck from the spray from the waterfalls but drying quickly in the sun. It did mean we missed out on the spectacular waterfalls that appear on every cliff face after a good rainfall.
