Here is my number #1 travel tip for 2010.
Go to Milford Sound!
See the Swiss Alps, Glaciers in Alaska, Fjords of Norway, Iguazzu Falls, NaPali Coast of Kauai, and then go to Milford Sound.
We will have photos for you tomorrow and have enough for months to come. You are absolutely surrounded by awe. Photos can’t do this place justice.
The cliffs rise up to 6,000 feet from the Sounds surface. Some of peaks hit a snow covered 9,000. At one point, we leaned over the railing of the ship and looked straight up to an over hang over 2100 feet above us.
Straight Up.
Straight Up.
We went right after a days rain and there were more waterfalls than you can count – many huge and many intermittent. Mountain glaciers, tree avalanche areas where the limited soil gave way and huge junks of the mountains trees crashed into the road.
The weather changes every ten minutes. Clouds and mist then windy then sunny and warm. You can experience all four seasons in an hour in Milford Sound.
New Zealand is beautiful beyond belief and this place is one of the most stunning awe inspiring places on the face of the earth.
At one point a snow capped mountain, half covered in clouds blended into the clouds above. It was like earth touched heaven in that one instant. I hope the photos comes out well enough for you to see the awe.
Go to Milford Sound!
