Location: Queenstown - Milford Sounds, New Zealand

Up at the crack of Dawn this morning as i had to catch a bus at 7 am. The trip was leaving so i was delighted at that. There were the minimum number of people (7) on the trip on a 51 seater bus!! The roads were ok. They were concerned about the roads as the road only was reopened last night! We headed off in the dark and as it brightened up we could see the extent of the snow. It was everywhere!! it made the area absolutely beautiful! really fabulous! The drive down was very different and then when we god to the sounds around 12.45 we boarded a boat and went for cruise around the Fiord for almost 2 hours. The scenery was very similar to Halong Bay in Vietnam. I can't tell which i preferred the most, but the islands in Halong Bay were a bit more spectacular...
It was a very long day, but true to my previous performance i managed to take about 200 pictures!! What am i Like!!
