We traveled through New Zealand from north to south by bus, crossed from the north island to the south island by ferry and travelled from east to west across the Southern Alps by train. We spent 5 days with Vicky in the Queenstown area. She rented a car and we cruised Melford Sound, travelled to Paradise, visited Mount Tarn from Lord of the Rings and thoroughly enjoyed our time in New Zealand.

We took a cruise through Milford Sound. This company's boat is one of the smaller boats who take people through the Sound, and this boat goes out into Tasmin Sea. Milford Sound is part of the rainforest and sunny days are few and far between. All of the local people say that it is most beautiful in the rain.
Beautiful scenery and hundreds of waterfalls.
It was a "trip of a lifetime!"
