Marvellous Milford

The next stop on our little jaunt was Milford Sound which has one town, Milford, population 180/50 depending on the time of year. Milford Sound can be explored by helicopter, plane or boat, we opted for a day kayak tour which involved 17km of kayaking through water that varied from ankle to 200m in depth. Milford Sound is actually a fjord, in an area of New Zealand called Fiorland, so it's not actually a Sound and they spelt fjord wrong but it's a really amazing place!
