We had so many highlights to this trip, it really is hard to say which was the best, but Milford Sound and getting there had to be ranked in amongst it! It was very cold again last night, with more fresh snow on the Alps, there was a truly beautiful, amazing sunrise turning them soft…

This day trip was certasinly a must do again on our recent trip, as we only did a small portion this trip. We gave up the Glow Worms on the 2019 trip and spent the whole day at the Thermal Wonderland park and saw all of it instead…fantastic day, but so tiring Rotorua, Wai-O-Tapu Mud…
