Funky Chicken on Tour day 17 (Queenstown - Milford Sound)

We waited in front of our accommodation for the pick-up to Milford Sound. Shame the sun decided today to hide again behind clouds and a few rain drops said good morning. At this point a BIG THANK YOU to my sister, brother in law and niece, without whom the trip would have never taken place. 
 
The bus drive through the fantastic scenery took a few hours before we arrived at the cruise terminal in Milford Sound. Apparently Milford Sound is much more mystic when it is raining since it builds temporary waterfalls. We stopped a few times for a walk around the area and photo opportunities.











As soon as we got on board of the cruise we started to eat our buffet, which could have fed an army, massive and yummy. It filled me up for the rest of the day.


A stunning, mysterious and beautiful cruise trip through the water made me smile.














We stopped at the Discovery Centre Platform, which in my opinion wasn’t worth the money. We didn’t get to see much underwater but luckily it was included in my trip anyway.





We headed back to Pier and our driver was waiting to get us back. On the way back we came across some heavy winds and had to drive very slowly to make sure the bus didn’t get tipped over, interesting experience……
Ah and the water in the pictures below is the lake not the ocean.



Happy Travels!
