Fiordland, New Zealand



The drive through Fiordland National Park to Milford Sound is breathtaking. We pass primeval forests, glacial valleys, frozen waterfalls, the frosted flats of Eglinton and blue-green mirror lakes. Fiordland is the largest and most remote national park in New Zealand and some say the most stunning. It's also the wettest raining 2 out of every 3 days, and between 7-10 metres a year. It's easy to see why I've recently discovered you need to book a year in advance to walk the 3-4 day Milford Track.
