We started out early the next morning for Milford Sound! The drive in was gorgeous and we even got a mostly sunny day! We stopped at the Mirror Lakes on the way in and drove Batman style through a rather scary, dark tunnel through the mountain. We took a 2 hour cruise of the sound and saw some unbelievable sights including numerous waterfalls, New Zealand fur seals, and some rare
Fiordland Crested Penguins. Milford Sound was definitely a highlight of our South Island tour! After the cruise, we headed back out of Fiordland and ended the day in Queenstown. We spent the evening exploring the town with dinner at
Winnie's Gourmet Pizza on the patio. Although some of us may have been a little hot in Queenstown, we still managed to have some fun with the local seagulls and artwork!
