| We took a helicopter from Queenstown to Milford Sound and
really lucked out with the weather - it was beautiful, but
the day before it had rained a record 300mm. |
 |
 |
 |
| The ride over was amazing (and looking down at the road, we
were very glad we hadn't gone for the 5 hour bus ride). |
 |
 |
We took a cruise boat out on the Sound - saw seals, a couple
of dolphins amd lots of gorgeous scenery.
|
 |
 |
| And lots of waterfalls (after all that rain!) |
 |
 |
 |
| Pretty crowded with tourists - there were planes coming in
all the time. |
|
 |
On the ride back, the pilot stopped on the top of a mountain
so we could take pictures. |
| And we got a nice view of Queenstown from above on the way
back. |
