On our way to Milford Sounds

On Wednesday we drove to Te Anau, a small place half way between Queenstown and Milford Sounds. We were quite sad to say goodbye to Queenstown as we love it so much, but decided we would come back that way, so it was not goodbye for long! Jucy, the campervan rental company, have been running a great deal with free camping in 'Family Parks' which they have none of in Queenstown, but they do in Te Anau! So we were able to take advantage of a free night which was awesome! The drive there was very picturesque, and we saw lots of sheep!!! We got to the campsite and then went out to explore! We went to the information centre to book our Milford Sound cruise which we got buy one get one free with Jucy, and the nights accomodation in Milford. Then we went for a lovely walk along the edge of the lake. The walk was supposed to take about an hour, but after 15 minutes we came across a lovely pebble beach and could not drag oursleves away! The weather was absolutely amazing, and it was just beautiful to sit in the sunshine in the peace and quiet, it was so still! Ben went for a paddle, but didn't get very far as it was pretty cold! I love the picture of him with the ripples of water radiating from his feet!



We had a nice evening in the van, and rented Lord of the Rings, which I can't say I'm a fan of, but it was cool to see all the scenery in the film we have been seeing in real life!
