Margaret &
John went to Milford Sound.
Here the road from Te Anau starts to get interesting.
Eglinton Valley.
Mitre Peak.
Pembroke Glacier.
Top of the Cledau
Valley at the western portal of the Homer Tunnel.
While we were here a bus load of cyclists pulled up and they took their
bikes off the trailer and went tearing off down the hill. Yeee Haaa!!
Waterfalls at the eastern end of the Homer Tunnel.
Curious Kea.
This guy was running all over the place with a horde of tourists after him
trying to get the ideal photo.
A note to touring
cyclists : Margaret and John cheated - they drove to Milford.
It is 120km from
Te Anau to Milford.
There are a number of campsites on the way, lots of tour buses, and heaps of sandflies!!
Do your homework before setting off along here.
And do NOT let the keas near your tyres!!!
