New Zealand - Day 2 (Milford Sound)

Image We joint Kiwi Discovery Tour from Queenstown to Milford Sound. The drive there was scenic!!
We could see huge pasteur and snowcap mountain all along the way!!
Image We passed by numerous waterfall
Image Lush rain forest due to 7 metres of rain annually. Does it look like one of the Lord of the Rings scene? Dwarf may appear behind the bush!
Image We took a short 'stroll' (15 minutes only) through the forest...More water fall!! It was drizzling!!
Image Can u see that bird...(aiyo call what ar?) and my tour bus!! And me?!!
Image Yea! The ferry that we will embark on our journey for a cruise to Tasman Sea and back see the fiord and omg seal!!
Image Lunch was provided!! A sandwich....mama...What's in it? (Hmm I was actually not feeling well that day... probably due to jet lag....ate too much and indigestion from the buffet dinner yesterday. Probably this will do for then after taking hot ginger lemon drink during the stopover in Te Anau)
Image I looked so 'cartoon'...haha
Image Breath taking scenary...if you want more, YangTze river cruize is the best!! You will be in a world in the Chinese painting in no time enjoying the scenary with the chinese orchestra music as the background!!

Image Time passed will no longer be back!! Cherish every moment of your life and ppl who come into your life!!
Image Nothing better than sipping a glass of red wine as we sailed passed the fiordland.
Image
Image The was the closest our ferry got to the water fall!! Mama miah!!
Image Our journey back from Milford Sound. We crossed the snowcap mountain ....the snow was very close to the road. I was told that the drive there was a little dangerous especially during winter if it is snowing.


Image So near!! My eyes could not stop gazing!!
Image The best dinner of our trip in NZ. Fresh oyster!! It is a must try at Fish Bone restaurant!!
Image Stir fried mussels on green salad!!
Image Free soup cooked with love!! So delicious!!
Image Dinner is not complete without a dessert!! This shop is famous for chocholate...just ask around (I forgot the name)...its a corner shop.
Tonight we rested well to get ready for a drive up north along the west coast to Franz Josef.
