We headed down to Milford Sound today one of the most scenic places in NZ.
As we passes this field of sheep I just had to have one more picture of sheep.
There are more sheep than people in NZ, I was hoping to find some great raw wool to spin up however, I have stopped in a few shops and discovered that the wool is largely exported and commercialized, the yarn from New Zealand is cheaper in Singapore and the U.S. than it is in New Zealand.
The two hour drive from Te Anu to Milford Sound is again lovely, the mountains are everywhere here we talked about how it would not matter where you put a house really as there are views 360 degrees 365 days of the year. Here are a few of our favorites from today, we did take over 240 but will just include the highlights.
Also on the way to Milford Sound is...... Fangorn Forest, of course we stopped and tramped about, that is what the Kiwis call hiking, tramping about. The forest is stunning, there is moss on the trees as the area is normally very very wet.
We have been blessed with amazing weather while we have been here, just a slight mist one day.
I think this tree was ready to walk and talk! See the face and the arms
In the parking lot we met this bird, it is a Kia bird
he followed us in the parking lot for a while and a little ways down the trail before stopping, and heading back to the lot to greet the next visitors.
