day 5 NZ - Queenstown to milford sound

decided to take the milford sound tour. a very long bus ride to our destination. told that the whole trip will take about 12.5 hours. approx 5 hours bus ride 2 hour cruise and another 5 hrs back to town. luckily we stoppped a couple of times to take some photos and to stretch our legs. at least the bus was big and new. Im glad we took the front see. as the round to milford sound went on like a snake. we stopped at te anau, the chasm and the mirror lakes. lovely postcard type photos. as we reached milford port. we were ushered to the cruiser. not that big but comfortable enough for a 2 hour cruise. highlight of the day> saw some wild dolphins and lazy seals sunbathing on the rock. Milford sound is famous for its waterfalls, i think there are 3 falls running all the time but the number increases if it rains. we had lunch on board and took A LOT of photos. i slept the whole way back bcos i started to feel dizzy. we reached queenstown at 8 pm. had a delicious dinner at dorai's place. although the day was tiring but i think it was worth the journey. fell asleep while watching 50 first dates. may be tommorrow we'll stay around town and keep it simple.
