Today we took a kayak ride in Milford Sound. It is actually a fjord because it was formed by glaciers. It is totally surrounded by tall mountains so it is incredibly majestic. It also gets 7 meters of rain a year, which is 7 times more rain than Seattle. The sand flies are fierce, so we were very glad to cover ourselves with layers, then go jump in the kayaks and get out in the water. I hope that my pictures give an idea of largeness of the area. I show one picture of a waterfall up close, then the waterfall at a distance. The water was very choppy on the way back and we were repeatedly washed over by waves. An amazing experience! The other two pictures are close ups of the many ferns we see in the forests.
