happy medium

I couldn’t let Mum and Bro leave New Zealand without seeing Milford Sound. Between Milford Sound and Queenstown is Fiordland – one of the largest parks and containing some of the most breath taking scenery in the world. The Southern Alps make up the park, and the less than direct route takes four and a half hours each way by car. Me and Dad did it back in February 2007, passing waterfalls, massive valleys and mirror lakes and through the homer tunnel. This time however, the three of us decided to take a scenic flight there and back, and whilst the round trip took only an hour, we got to see the Southern alps from a completely different perspective:
