Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Milford Sound-New Zealand is amazing ….even if you can only see the bottom 300ft! It was so stormy and foggy that this was all we could see, even though Mitre Peak soars to 5,551 ft. But because of the storm, almost every wall had a spectacular waterfall.
It was soooooooo rainy that we couldn’t even enter the sound for two hours. When we did it seemed that ALL the walls were waterfalls of varying sizes. It was beautiful but we could only see the first layer of the imposing mountains…
I can only imagine what a site it must be.
Milford Sound has soaring mountains and waterfalls (these are just foothills). But look to the bottom right and see the 65ft boat looking like a little ant.
Can you find the 50ft ship on the left?
After a 3 day crossing from Australia we arrived at Milford Sound. WE had to wait for 3 hours outside the sound because it was so fogged in. When we finally entered there were literally HUNDREDS on waterfalls because it had been raining.
So all the brave souls ran to the forward deck with their rain gear on.
Unfortunately it never cleared off and this was as high up the mountains as we could see. I was bummed because I was looking forward to seeing the soaring Mitre Peak.
