Finally woke up and nearly blue sky.
Heading to Milford Sound, the journey itself is simply breathtaking. A must-visit is the numerous signposted natural attractions, where you can actually visit each one. Especially recommended is The Chasm, where the waterfall has created unique shapes in the rocks. The Mirror Lakes are also amazing, even though they are just small pools, you can see wonderful reflections of the mountains here. The Homer Tunnel is also unique, hopefully the ADAC tunnel tester will never come here...
The little cruise through Milford Sound is fascinating. You can see mountains that are over 2000m high, at sea level. We were also greeted by numerous dolphins at the mouth of the Sound. On the ship, I found it very nice to be asked to say hello to the captain on the bridge, which I did.
Today was one of the most beautiful days of our trip.

Hi. Ich lese immer Regen🤔 wie warm oder kalt ist es denn bei euch? Ist Regenzeit? Oder einfach nur Pech. Trotzdem sehr schöne Bilder. In HH übrigens Regen 8 Grad. Astrid

Am Franz Josef Gletscher hatten wir um die 10° und drei Tage Dauerregen, aber anders als der Regen in Norddeutschland, hier hat man Outdoorduschen. In Bremen fallen im Jahr ca. 800l Regen hier sind es 5100l !!! Die Tage danach waren wechselhaft mit vielen Regenschauern, war auch etwas Pech, die Einheimischen sagten, dass sei nicht normal. Aber hier am Milford Sound war das Wetter super, was hier selten ist.
