Woke up early to hit the road for the drive to Milford Sound. Stunning. 2½ hours of driving on a road that just got more and more beautiful. High mountains, snowcapped peaks and lots of sunshine on the way. Couldn't get any better.
Arrived at the boat in time for a short walk to a waterfall. Boarded the boat at 9 for 1½ hour cruise. Mountains just rise directly out of the water in the sound. Waterfalls coming down the hills everywhere.
Back on terra firma, headed the opposite way, still enjoying the drive. Passed Queenstown and decided that since the weather was now so sunny we had to take the gondola to the top of the mountain. So we enjoyed the late afternoon sunshine and the view of the lake and the town.
Headed back towards Wanaka for our evening stop at "Sam's" farm. Malene's friends friend who we had written a couple of times at facebook. Arrived at his house only to find nobody home. So we gave him a call and he was there in ½ hour. Nice guy.
Cooked dinner and went to bed not too late. Another looong and nice day.
