Te Anua and Millford Sound, NZ

PICTURE: Mirror lakes, fiordland national park
Well we have spent many hours on buses but have seen some of the most beautiful scenery i have ever seen! We left Queenstown and went to a town called Te Anau. It is a very small town but is situated right on a lake with many tramping trails around. Glenn and i did a lake trek and ended up at a bird sanctuary where we saw some native new zealand birds. The weather was quite cool and windy when we got there but cleared up and was actually quite pleasant. The next day we went to Millford sound which is a outlet into the tasman sea. The mountains have been formed all around right out of the ocean and they have enough minerals that trees grow right out of them with no soil. We really lucked out there though, we ended up with a beautiful sunny day and the skipper told us that the sound averages 3 out of 4 rainy days, so we were really lucky, and we also saw dolphins and seals! We are now in Franz Josef and we are off on a Glacier hike tomorrow morning. Should be lots of fun, we have both never done anything like that before! All is well, we are go go go and enjoying every moment. Miss you all talk to you soon,
Love Jen and Glenn
