To Milford Sound

Today the weather was tremendous in queenstown so I was up at 7 for my flight to Milford sound - it's a 5 hour trip there or only a 30 minute flight over the spectacular southern alps.

The flight was cancelled twice before finally going ahead at 2pm

It was bumpy but spectacular, although the weather closed in over the mountains and it was a misty day in the sound.

The sound (or fjord really) is just huge - the cliffs rise up so high completely dwarfing even the massive cruise ship which came in.

The take off and landing were amazing flying right between the mountains in an out of the sound. Def worth the wait!!
