Good morning, how's my hair? I put everything I had underneath the jacket all the thermals and
layers and all because it's only 12 degrees I know it looks sunny but it's actually very cold
right so today it's a very exciting day because we're going to Milford Sound which are the
fjords of New Zealand and I'm gonna do a touristy excursion on a boat to see it all hopefully we'll
still have the sun and a beautiful weather so we can
see it clearly and the road there supposed to be so scenic so there you go there you go let's go
that's a beautiful valley we're still about 64 kilometers away from our final destination
from Milford Sound but this is the start of the national park and it's so, so scenic and beautiful
okay I stopped here for a little break look at this view
getting better and better the thick forest and then we have a bit of snow
okay well we gotta keep going because
our cruise will start in about one hour so we still need to get there
but this road is very scenic
scenery is very dramatic I'm not sure if you can see how tall these mountains are but they're
really, really tall and we're so close to them you can see a glacier at the top there
it's a beautiful road okay we have a bit of a delay some traffic lights here we have little
waterfalls going down that rock and it's only nine degrees so cold but yeah the top there
I don't know if you got the top like right there there is a glacier so cool okay we will be going
now through the tunnel it's a one-way tunnel for now oh wow this tunnel is very, very dark
especially in my tinted goggles yeah and it's downhill and we're sort of out of the tunnel
but not just yet it's just still a tunnel with it oh yes we are out of the tunnel
welcome to the other side wow and this is gonna be a looks like this is gonna be a twisty road
to go down I think we're nearly here okay now we need to work out where we're gonna park here
so basically there's only one lodge here which is like super expensive like 700
dollars per night or something like that and it's booked out like two months in advance
we're in right so Marmine is parked you get a nice view in the background yes so the scenario
is you have to leave your bike here at the parking and then you have to walk to the
boat for probably 10 minutes I was very lucky with that one because I left all my stuff like
my jacket my helmet and my bag I did tourist information so the guy from there said he's
gonna look after it so I don't have to carry it around that's awesome and now we have to walk
for 10 minutes to get to the boat here we go what can I say it is a pretty magic spot so the car
park is here and we have to go all the way around to get to the boats which are there
later on where you'll be able to see a lot more of them and you'll get some much better pictures
from a much closer look now looking over to the left there you'll see another waterfall
the ferry and pixie just just before stand at 90 and 80 meters of height
this one on our left here coming through the mountainside stands at about 55 meters of height
this is as far as we go you can see Tasman sea just there
and if you go keep going that way we get to Australia so close but yet so far
that was fun coming here on the top of this mountain there is a glacier
here we have I think our last waterfall today
and that's it end of the trip it was epic hey
so much fun okay I'm all packed up we're gonna have to head back because rain is coming and I
mean it rains in this place nearly all the time so we were very lucky with the weather
although it's cloudy but it was not wet and you can't even camp here there's only one expensive
lodge and that's about it now it looks like rain so I've decided to go all the way to town
it's our lucky day I have a cabin and it's actually very affordable for this area because
it was only 98 dollars which is here super cheap and today it's gonna be windy and it's gonna be
rainy so I was very lucky with that one because I really didn't feel like camping after this cold
day okay ah this is gonna be our cute little cabin number 12 oh oh okay doesn't matter we'll
drop the load and I think we have to pack that uh number 12 there you go oh it is a very cute cabin
it's not all sweet but I don't care it's I don't have to camp okay let's see oh super cute
there you go 98 dollars but I don't care oh it's gonna be warm
and the view and sheep and all we have it all oh oh and I have my own thingy here excellent
