Milford Sound Day Trip

After flying to the South Island on the Thursday and driving from Dunedin to Te Anau we set off early in the morning to Milford. We were hoping that we would beat most of the tourist buses by leaving early and it worked well. Our first stop on the road was the Mirror Lakes. These lakes are on the edge of a wetland and are well sheltered thus reflecting the surrounding scenery near perfectly. With no foliage in the picture it almost looks better the wrong way up in the bright morning sunshine. (Even if it was only 2 Degrees)
