Journey to Milford Sound

The road to Milford was long, but one full of beautiful location stops featuring some incredible scenery.

Queenstown

As soon as we saw Queenstown from a few hundred feet in the air I knew it was going to be a beautiful place, and with every corner we turned on our way to Bumbles Backpackers the more incredible the views became; I've never seen clouds like it anywhere before! 

It wasn't long before we felt very much at home...

Auckland City

A trip to the Art museum where we got to see the 'Who Shot Rock and Roll' photography exhibition, Parnell high street (an up-market shopping area) and to face Paul's fear of lifts and my fear of heights, a trip to the top of the sky tower - The tallest man-made structure in New Zealand!!!  It wasn't long before another case of bus travel madness set in...

Waiheke Island

A short ferry ride taken from Auckland city across the water to Waiheke; a beautiful island caught beneath it's own ozone hotspot, making it VERY easy to catch the sun.  Gorgeous beaches, great food, a stop off at Topknot vineyard and even some giant chess made for an awesome day trip!!!
