Day 6 - The drive to Milford Sound

We woke up really early for the drive to Milford Sound. I think I got up at 5.30am or so...zzz

We started the journey at about 7am to catch the 10.30am Nature Cruise. Actually it takes about 2 hours to reach but since we weren't familiar with the route, we didn't wanted to rush too much. We pre-booked the cruise prior to the trip via the internet and had a 10% discount for that :)

Along the way, we stopped at this gorgeous scenery! Low cloud, nice river with lots of pretty lupins! The sighboard says 'Eglinton River' here.



We were expecting the weather to be cloudy and even rain since Milford Sound has the second highest rainfall in the world (after mountains of Tahiti)!
