Got up before the faeries this morning and departed for Milford Sound in Dean and Susans pretend kombi subaru (there van was not ready in time to make it on the trip). Pink and busbus stayed at camp today. Spent most of the journey there in the dark and the sun was just lighting things up when we got to the Homer Tunnel. Found a dirty snow brooch while we were deciding whether to go through the tunnel or not. The traffic lights dont start going until 9 am apparently (strange and scary for a very long one and a half car wide downhill tunnel through a mountain)
The sun was just hitting the tops of some of the mountains when we got to Milford. A bit misty today with the occaisional shower which limited photography options, but it was still gorgeous. 120 mm of rain here yesterday, so lots of little waterfalls coming down the mountainsides.
Mountain Brooch
and Mountain brooch-back
Stopped to take a photo on the road back and saw a Kea
Back at camp for a nanna nap by 2pm.
The 4 bachelor boys (Frank, Ken, Knut & Ben) have gotten into the habit of parking close to the loos and kitchen rather than their assigned camping spots.
