Fiordlands

We spent three days in the Fiordlands National Park where we saw some of the most spectacular scenery we’ve ever seen.
Here’s Amy and Beck at our campsite…


This is some of the scenery from near where we camped…


The drive to Milford Sound is absolutely breathtaking. You feel like the glaciers hanging over your head could slide off the mountains and onto you at any moment.

This is the view from Milford Sound…


and a few other pictures from around the area…








It’s very important to wear long sleeves to protect against the sand flies, which are ferocious in this area. Also bring rain gear. We were lucky with the weather and saw only a little rain. We plan to visit again to see Doubtful Sound.

Oh my goodness, your photos are so beautiful and the kids look fantastic. Quinne is as beautiful as ever and Beck is also turning into a real looker! It was so lovely to see on skype the other day. Keep happy and healthy, lots of love, mum
