The day after we completed the Milford Track we kayaked it. Milford Sound is by far the most visited and most renowned place in Fiordland and is the only fiord with road access. The town itself is very small. It has only one backpacker accommodation, one motel, one bar and café and the second busiest airport in New Zealand. This says a lot about a place that doesn’t have many other attractions. The fiord is 15 km long framed by enormous mountains. The highest of these mountains is Mitre Peak, rising 1692 m out of the sea. Its beauty and drama are difficult to put into words. Rudyard Kipling described it as the eighth wonder of the world.
Kias like cars...
Funny enough, the two girls in this boat were from Armonk and one goes to RISD.
The mountain in the middle is called "the Lion".
