Milford Sound and dinner at “crazy farm”

Day 30
Milford Sound – Gore (Pukerau)

The way to Milford Sound is really beautiful, alpine nature, mountains and beautiful lake Te Anau. We didn’t stop to take pictures, thinking we will do it on the way back anyway, and now we needed to hurry to Milford Sound since I was paranoid we don’t get there in time :-D

Getting closer to Milford sound the road is going through the mountains and sun is not visible anymore, it is cloudy, humid and misty…and chilly!

We checked in for the cruise, got a ticket for free muffins and coffee and successfully boarded on the boat.




The weather was cloudy and windy, but Milford sound still looked gorgeous.








We didn't see any dolphins but instead we saw couple of seals relaxing on a big rock :-D



Many gorgeous watefalls on the way through the fiord made the atmosphere unforgettable.



After 1,5 hours we finished the cruize and it was time to head south, to Gore.


Just after we got into the car, it started to rain. Heavy rain wouldn't stop and we couldn't even get out of the car to see things on the way - it was a total shower.

We stopped on the way to see some waterfalls in the forest and then continued our way through the rain.


We stopped in Te Anau to put some gas and bought food and drinks for sangria and headed to Gore.
Our hosts were living in a farm 15 minutes from Gore, in the middle of green hills and thousands of sheep :-D

And this is Robyn :-D


Graeme, shy and warm, real Kiwi, proud for his farm, together with Robyn, who never get tired making sacrastic jokes welcomed us to their lovely house.


Inpite of the fact that we were going to cook spanish omelet and prepare sangria, Robyn had her own plans for dinner with us and we ended up having a really impressive table full of food and drinks! We had spanish omelet, cheese, salad, lamb and potatos and 5 liters of Sangria, yu-hu!


Together with Robyn, Graeme, Vic (their friend who came by), Esther, Laura and us we had a really lovely family dinner which ended up playing Pictionary :-D

One of the highlights of our stay in Robyn's house was the wallpaper she had on the desktop of her pc :DDD We used this phrase lots of time joking and laughing together in the crazy farm :-D


We played the game, laughed, drank sangria and had great time! And then we spent a great night in 5 stars room with 5 stars bed with electric blankets! (can you believe that? :-D
