Milford!

After our last little adventure, we decided to have some R&R on the Milford Track, often called the finest walk in the world. Though it’s a 4-day, 55-km hike, you get to stay in well-equipped huts (no tents allowed!) complete with beds and gas cookers. Pretty posh. Beautiful rain forests for the first two days, a jaw-dropping pass on the second day, and more rain forests on the third. Again, we had perfect weather. At one point, while hiking along a veritable highway in the woods, our companions (who’d done it a few years ago) told us they remember walking along the same section in knee-deep water. Wow! It normally rains 18 feet a year along the Milford Track, so to have a few days of sun in a row is a rarity. The walk ends with a boat ride through Milford Sound, which is stunning. Haven’t had a chance to edit the photos, but I’ll post them soon.
