Finally lying in bed at the Milford Sound Lodge – what a job getting organised! Pain in the arse staying here – packed into an 8-bed dorm room with 6 young Euro backpackers.
Had a leisurely start to the day, leaving Kowhai Hill by 10:30am. Day slowly got wetter. Fed sheep again before we left – so cute and funny. Shopping in Te Anau then drove on to the Hollyford Road and walked to Lake Marian – ended up taking 3 hrs 45 mins. Drizzled the whole time. Spectacular mountain lake surrounded by looming peaks. Drove on to Milford Sound by 6:15pm, checked in, had a very nice dinner at Pio Pio Café, then repacking, showers and now bed. Have just decided I’ll send Nadia a quick email (not so easy, as no mobile coverage here).
